British designer Kim Jones made his final presentation for Louis Vuitton at Paris Men’s Fashion Week, after seven years as the Artistic Director of Men's collections at the French label.

Jones went out with a butch and swashbucklingly adventurous collection, full of happy people kitted up to take on anything the great outdoors could throw at them.

These were clothes very much in his own image as a debonnaire globetrotter with a killer sense for streetwear.

The titanium python leather hiking boots his models wore set the tone for a line of unapologetically luxurious and dramatic clothes made from the most expensive of skins and fabrics.

Jones’ colour palette was natural and neutral – olive, sandstone, granite and slate. But everything had the insouciant sheen of money: mink, mohair, crocodile skin bags and belts with cashmere and vicuna sweaters for climbing the highest mountains.

“It’s all about clothes than can change, about fabrics that can travel on the body and transform,” he said of the show, which he set amid giant photographs of Kenya’s landscape taken from a helicopter.
