Fashion show on a water mirror
The Saint-Laurent fashion show for the spring/summer 2019 collection featured a spectacular setting. The models literally walked on the water of the Trocadéro fountain. Luminous palm trees bordered this catwalk pool and were reflected, along with the Eiffel Tower, on the mirror of open water.
Bureau Bétak called on CRYSTAL to create this incredible catwalk covered with water.
