Paris Fashion Week

Meryll Rogge's Spring/Summer 2026 collection closed Paris Fashion Week with a bright wink rather than a roar—a show that feels like an invitation: to mix, to dare, to carry fragments of fantasy into everyday life. Rogge, now juggling her own label, a new knitwear line (B.B. Wallace), and her role as Creative Director at Marni, seems to have used this season to lean into freedom. The driving impulse? "Lightness" in mood, in silhouette, in spirit. The collection delighted in co

Pierre Cardin enters Spring/Summer 2026 under the stewardship of Rodrigo Basilicati-Cardin, in what feels like a deliberate turning of the page—holding onto legacy, but facing forward. The house, founded in 1953, has long been associated with futurism, bold geometry, and space-age aesthetics; for SS26, those impulses still ripple, but are filtered through a lens of sustainability, wearability, and modern minimalism. The collection suggests a desire to reconcile Pierre Cardin'

Ujoh's SS26 collection arrives feeling like a day spent sliding between port and promenade—less a fantasy island, more a carefully worn urban summer. Under Mitsuru and Aco Nishizaki, Ujoh upholds its commitment to sharp tailoring and clean lines, while imbuing the wardrobe with breezy, sailing references. The brand continues to "bring a breath of fresh air to the art of tailoring" and "deliberately breaks conventions with bold, asymmetrical cuts." In the show, these impulses

For its VOL. 11 chapter, CFCL's SS26 collection feels like a meditation on material, transparency, and form. The show positions clothing not as costume, but as a presence in space-objects that live, breathe, and shift with light. CFCL builds on its guiding philosophy of Knit-ware: Concreteness-borrowing from sculptural practice, from transparency, from craft-not to decorate, but to inhabit. The show's presentation, the rhythm of pieces moving under soft lighting, accentuates

DIDU, led by Du Di and trained at Antwerp's Royal Academy of Fine Arts, enters its Spring/Summer 2026 offering with a voice that merges sensuality, sharp tailoring, and cultural hybridity. The house's signature is clean silhouettes infused with audacious cuts and body-conscious forms; SS26 seems less about spectacle and more about distilling what makes its identity powerful: empowerment, vulnerability, structured femininity. While explicit visuals or detailed reviews are spar

Sydney-based Christopher Esber opens SS26 with a yearning not for drama, but for release. The collection is an "ode to wanderlust," inspired by the tension between daily office life and the pull of faraway shores. Esber disassembles formalwear, letting structure fray, hems rip, and drape replace rigidity. The women in his clothes aren't celebrities on red carpets—they’re daydreamers in cubicles, beach towels slung over shoulders, longing for sun, looseness, ease. He starts st

For SS26, Kiko Kostadinov stages a narrative less flashy than some past shows, but richer in texture, emotion, and subtle complexity. Costumes here are not costumes: they're garments meant to be lived in. The runway is treated like time itself—a single day unfolding on a secluded, fictional island. From dawn's gentle light through midday labor to the cloak of night, each look corresponds to an hour, each material shift marking passing sun. Lighting, mood, pace all serve this

Xuly.Bet returns in SS26 not with a quiet whisper but with a quiet conviction. Long known for its underground, subcultural energy and fabric re-use ethos, this season's show felt like a rebirth: less about shock, more about resonance, rhythm, and identity. Kouyaté steps into a place of storytelling—where each look carries both archive and aspiration, memory and possibility. The finale—models dancing in the center of the runway, joined by Kouyaté himself—felt less spectacle t

With Spring/Summer 2026, Chanel, under new artistic director Matthieu Blazy, stages what feels like both a tribute and a metamorphosis. The collection was presented under a dome in the Grand Palais, beneath giant celestial bodies, reinforcing a theme that horizons, stars, and sky are not just visual motifs but emotional frames. Blazy's goal wasn't to upend Chanel's legacy, but to read it closely—to glean from it what can be lighter, looser, more universal, more lived-in. The

If SS26 has a mood, it is one of paradox: public display colliding with private ritual. For her latest delivery, Paula Cánovas del Vas didn't just release a collection—she staged a performance of intimacy in public. Her set was a tiled bathroom (a dropside truck converted into one), parked outside Café de la Mairie in the Upper Marais. Models performed moments usually kept behind doors—brushing teeth, resting on a closed toilet, preparing for the day—before stepping into the

In celebration of 50 years of creation, Agnes b.’s Spring/Summer 2026 show at Paris Fashion Week felt less like a conventional runway and more like a lived-in archive come to life. The designer, Agnès Troublé, brought forth a collection that quietly underscored her enduring values—functionality, humanism, and a distinctly Parisian ease—while also acknowledging the breadth of her half-century journey. Agnes b.'s SS26 offering delved into her wardrobe staples—denim, stripes, wo

Thom Browne arrives in SS26 with a visible tension in its DNA: the rigor of uniform meets the impulse to unravel. Browne has long made a signature out of tailoring, shrunk proportions, and gesture (cropped lengths, accentuated sleeves), but this season feels more willing to fracture the code itself. Browne does not abandon structure—he interrogates it. The show offers looks that might read first as disciplined: sharply cut jackets, pleated trousers, structured outerwear. But

Zimmermann's Spring/Summer 2026 collection appears to deepen its signature romance, embracing a drift between ethereal fantasy and structured charm. For seasons now, Nicky Zimmermann has been weaving together lightweight fabrics that catch skin and air with elements that anchor looks in shape and purpose. SS26 seems to offer more of the same magic, but with a slightly sharper story: what beauty looks like when it moves, when it leans into daylight, when it flirts with both ex

The Spring/Summer 2026 collection from Boyarovskaya made a quiet, potent statement at Paris Fashion Week. Founded by Maria Boyarovskaya, the brand has long excelled in exploring minimalism's emotional register — and with SS26, the house pushed deeper into the space between presence and absence, structure and vulnerability. The presentation space itself offered a clue: models strode through a stark white gallery void, dressed in the brand's signature black-on-white architectur

Miuccia Prada's latest runway for Miu Miu feels like a reclamation of softness amid instability. In a Paris season colored by political and social unease, this SS26 show at Palais d’Éléna offers a kind of feminine choreography that is both gentle and defiant. The label revisits its signature codex—mini skirts, floral whispers, school-uniform echoes—but frames them through apron dresses, folk prints, visible bras, and pointelle knits. It's a conversation between nostalgia and

Coperni continues its trajectory as a brand that thrives in the space between innovation and sensual minimalism. Under Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant, the house has become known for memorable "moments" — the spray-on dress, the Swipe bag, the experiments — but this season feels like both a consolidation and an opening: consolidating its techno-chic vocabulary while making moves toward approachable wearability. Coperni isn't just chasing virality; it seems to want resonan

In her Spring/Summer 2026 collection showcased at Paris Fashion Week, Shiatzy Chen channels a spirited fusion of heritage and ease—an aesthetic rooted in Chinese craftsmanship but infused with the loose-limbed freedom of '70s hippie culture. The collection, titled "Unstill,” leans into motion, symbolised by the house's reference to the horse—fluid, strong, and ever in transit. Shiatzy Chen's framework remains the marriage of East-meets-West, but this season she re-frames it t

When Ungaro presented its Spring/Summer 2026 collection at Paris Fashion Week, Creative Director Kobi Halperin steered the historic house into a realm of elegant exploration— one that draws from the grandeur of the Louvre Museum and the eclectic spirit of the flea markets of Paris in equal measure. The show felt like a curated journey through beauty, heritage, and reinvention. The collection's inspiration is layered: it takes cues from the formal symmetry and refined interior

For SS26, Chitose Abe returns with "Everyday All Day," a collection that doesn't chase spectacle but rather elevates the ordinariness of daily life. What becomes immediately clear is Sacai's ambition to reconcile the utilitarian with the luxurious: clothes built for many hours of being, moving, existing, yet rich with detail, craftsmanship, and disruption. The ordinary is used as a canvas rather than a constraint. Silhouette is central to this season. Sacai restates its signa

Alexander McQueen's Spring/Summer 2026 collection under Seán McGirr arrives as a vivid statement of tension: between tradition and exposure, between structure and erotic abandon. There is something tribal in its fractures — uniforms undone, surfaces sliced, corseted forms stripped back - all playing out against a soundscape of rain and bird calls, a frenetic yet primal setting. The show evokes ritual: of clothing, of body, of identity being constantly remade. McGirr leans har
