As weary fashionistas made it to the final sprint of Paris Fashion Week's 96 physical and digital Spring/Summer 2022 shows, the runways over the weekend provided the spark to keep energy going, despite rain and gray skies.

Some of the world's top designers channeled humour, bright colours, innovative design techniques and even animated films for ever-imaginative displays.
