Bright, colourful harlequin-like prints decorated coats, bomber jackets, wide-legged trousers, dresses and skirts in light fabrics. Some robes, poncho-like tops and skirts had additional layers, cut out with holes throughout to look like polka dots.
Models also wore zebra print-like jackets and dresses.
"They're very naively done in a bold way with primary colours, bold shapes, round volumes, polka dots," the 24-year old designer told Reuters.
"It's a very optimistic way of creating and I wanted to catch this energy that I got from her (Saint Phalle's) work in the collection."
The looks were accessorised with chunky jewellery consisting of round wooden necklaces and large green foam-like knotted earrings and choker necklaces.
Paris Fashion Week runs until March 9.
