  • Story Text: Paris fashion week has seen all the elegance and sophistication of haute couture collections, but on Friday (January 26) it all went wacky when the 'Wild and Lethal Trash' collection for next winter was unleashed.

    The WALT look for men, women and children this year consisted of primary colours, little lycra jackets, men in plastic wigs, T-shirts with chest-hair attached and trousers in teddy bear fabric.

    For children the styles were the same but smaller.

    The WALT show was dedicated to people who deal with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and AIDS awareness.
