PARIS (AP) – Star-power met with conquistadors at Sunday as Kanye West, Ciara and Chris Brown held center stage at Paris Fashion Week’s Givenchy’s show that channeled the Spanish adventurers who sailed in search of the Cities of Gold.

Meanwhile, former Destiny’s Child singer Kelly Rowland posed with Formula One racing driver Lewis Hamilton at John Galliano’s front row, as Celine unveiled its latest fall-winter 2016 collection.

GIVENCHY’S CONQUISTADOR

Givenchy’s Riccardo Tisci is often inspired by combat.

In Sunday’s complex and accomplished show the Italian-born designer expressed this – with subtlety – by channeling the Spanish conquistador of the 1500s, who went to South America as a colonizer in search of new land and adventure.
