Paris fashion week spring/summer 2026 schedule announced
Paris Fashion Week is set to return with a packed schedule for its spring/summer 2026 season. The Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode (FHCM) released the provisional lineup on Thursday, detailing 76 shows and 36 presentations from 29 September to 7 October.
Among the exciting newcomers is Belgian designer Julie Kegels, as well as the avant-garde label Matières Fécales and the eponymous brand from Meryll Rogge, the new creative director of Marni. The presentations program also introduces Belgian brand Façon Jacmin and Danish brand Ganni, which made its Paris debut in September 2024, though previously outside the official calendar.
This season marks the return of several major fashion houses, many under new creative direction. Jean Paul Gaultier, led by Duran Lantink, Carven with Mark Thomas, Mugler with Miguel Castro Freitas, Loewe with the duo of Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, and Maison Margiela, debuting its first ready-to-wear collection with Glenn Martens at the helm, are all part of the comeback. Celine, Vêtements, Agnès b., Thom Browne, and Lanvin are also returning to the lineup.
One of the most highly anticipated events is Chanel’s show on 6 October at 8 p.m. GMT, where Matthieu Blazy will unveil his first collection as creative director. Blazy, who previously led Bottega Veneta, takes the reins at the French fashion giant. Pierpaolo Piccioli’s debut collection for Balenciaga is also expected to be a major highlight.
