| A Ground Zero design at Paris Fashion Week |
An outlandish kind of joie de vivre has been the order of the day since Paris Fashion
Week began Sept. 23, with designers seeming ready to spring a new race of playful superheroines on the world.

| Ground Zero's 'comic' creativity |
From the very first
day of the Womenswear Spring/Summer 2015 collections, the London and Hong Kong-based label Ground Zero set the
tone, with designs that could have been inspired by a childhood spent
reading Marvel Comics.
The label's Eri and Phillip Chu, brothers, delivered a show that an onlooker described as “X-Men (or women) leisure style” for a day out in the sunshine.
Later in the
week, one of our favourite designers, Manish Arora, also went in for that
otherworldly heroine look, with characters in gladiator cyber sandals waiting
beside their spaceships to welcome you into a pastel universe.
Arora can always be relied on for creating a buzz during Fashion Week, and with this exuberant collection, he didn't disappoint - as long as you were ready and willing to enter his "kaleidoscopic lunar world".
