The Etam show celebrated the past 100 years of the lingerie brand and was held at Le Centre Pompidou (Centre Georges Pompidou) in central Paris. The name of the show was 100 years of French Liberte.
Tuesday's runway show was streamed live online on pages of global news agencies including Euronews. The event featured 80 models on the backdrop of musical performances by French singer Marina Kaye, guitarist Jacques Dutronc, English artist Dua Lipa and more.
