As this season's fashion month comes to a close, designer labels such as Balenciaga are making a big splash -- literally.

On Sunday, models walked the runway at Cité du Cinema studio in Paris wearing the latest looks from the brand as they charged through a flooded floor.

In less than 30 minutes, the show included a little over 100 high fashion looks.
