An artist-inspired show from Schiaparelli opened Paris haute couture week Monday (July 3), easing fears that fashion shows would have to be cancelled due to five nights of rioting across France.

French label Celine cancelled its show the day before that (held outside the official calendar), due to unrest sparked by the police killing of a teenager last week.
