Designers prove their imagination has no limits when 'dressing' their catwalks

The setting of a catwalk show is almost just as important for designers as their actual runway collections.

The backdrop contextualises and enhances the significance of a collection's theme and can intensify emotion or create a specific atmosphere.

Undoubtedly, a catwalk’s aesthetic can have a huge impact on fashion show attendees.

Especially when designers put their best foot forward with extravagant and colourful decoration, giant jungle paradises, live animals and cities created inside the four walls of a building.

Chanel recreated a garden in black and white with majestic fountains to display their ready- to- wear creations for the Spring/Summer 2011 season. Additionally, an orchestra of 80 musicians played live music during the show 

Dior recreated a waterfront scene to show off their nautical inspired collection
