Kriss van Assche, who joined Berluti as creative director in April 2018, following his eleven-year tenure overseeing menswear at Dior, chose a duo of identical gold-tone wheels to frame his runway debut during Paris fashion week.

Mounted inside Paris' opera, at the storied Palais Garnier, the outsized metallic sculptures flanked the building's dramatic marble-clad staircase. A nod to Berluti's affiliation with motorsports perhaps – the brand previously issued an 'Off Road' collection, premiered at the Wheels & Waves festival in Biarritz - van Assche matched the wheels with panelled-leather biker trousers in block colours.
