Fashion shows have always been a headline-hitting affair.

We’ve had supermodels dancing down the catwalk, Madonna baring all for her friend Jean Paul Gaultier and Kate Moss defying all the rules and lighting up mid-walk.

Arguably, the king of the runway has to be Karl Lagerfeld. His work at Chanel has earned endless praise with the show sets always causing a stir. There’s been the riot-inducing supermarket, the A-list casino and a feminist protest like no other.

Take a look through the history books and check out the most breathtaking (or shocking) moments from the Fashion Week catwalks.
