A full chamber orchestra of 30 musicians was hidden in complete silence behind the Paris catwalk.

When the models started to strut their stuff, the ensemble struck up. A spotlight showed them all dressed in Dior Homme.

They played a suite by the Ivory Coast composer, Koudlam. All the fashion writers were *amazed*. Celebrities gasped.

Chic?

Not if you’ve been sat for an hour in pitch darkness, wondering if you’re still in tune.

Paris Fashion Dior

Any of our Paris readers actually play in this charade?
