Paris Fashion Week

Glenn Martens' debut ready-to-wear for Margiela SS26 frames itself as a recalibration of what the house stands for—less spectacle, more architecture; less myth, more interiority. The show honors Margiela's legacy of imperfection, anonymity, and deconstruction, but filters it through Martens' eye: cleaner lines, precision, subtle disruptions, moments of lightness. It feels like Margiela taking a breath, finding stillness amid its own provocation. There's an emotional tone of t

In the swirl of vibrant innovation and maximalist gestures at this season's Paris Fashion Week, DICE KAYEK's Spring/Summer 2026 offering stands out not by turning up the volume—rather, by refining what volume can mean. Creative director Ece Ege returns to her signature structural language, this time inflected with a buoyant sense of play and a subtle nod to her past. From the first looks, the collection revealed a fascination with contour and lift: balloon hems on skirts, sli

Junya Watanabe opens SS26 with a thesis in tension: between classicism and radicalism, between ornament and roughness, between tradition and creative dissonance. He begins firmly rooted in history, then gradually allows structure to splinter, letting texture, patch, fray, and print assert themselves. The show is both a homage to dress codes of power and a rewriting of what power dressing means in a world that asks for subversion. The runway's emotional arc feels deliberate: e

When Barbara Bui revealed her Spring/Summer 2026 collection during Paris Fashion Week, it felt like a precise re-assertion of her house DNA: tailored modernity, refined confidence, and the seductive tension between structured power and understated sensuality. The collection doubles down on what the brand does best—while still offering quietly refreshed energy. If there was a central motif this season, it was the jacket. Bui positions the blazer not merely as outerwear but as

In its Spring/Summer 2026 presentation, Loulou de Saison offers a collection that quietly rewrites the rules of Parisian ease-less about overt display and more about the confident poise of the modern woman who inhabits the city's day-to-day as much as its night. According to the official write-up, the brand staged its show in a conversational lounge set-up at its Paris headquarters: models moved, sat, played chess, lounged—echoing the tone of the collection itself. The woman

Alaïa's Spring/Summer 2026 feels like a return to essentials for the house: skin, cut, structure, and sensuality. Behind Pieter Mulier's direction, the collection seems to ask: how much can you reveal while still preserving mystery? How do you carve volume into flesh? If much of SS26 resists ornament, it does so in order to magnify what remains—the body, the seam, the sculptural line. The show isn't about shock so much as about refinement; not extravagance, but presence. One

Victoria Beckham's SS26 collection is, in a sense, a dress rehearsal of identity. Having spent much of her career distancing her brand from her pop-star past, she now leans into it—not as spectacle, but as memory, as a lens through which she re-examines how clothes shape us. Vogue notes that Beckham revisited childhood photos, school uniforms, experiments with borrowing oversized pieces—moments in teenage wardrobes that gestured toward self-expression. The concept of youthful

Yohji Yamamoto's Spring/Summer 2026 collection feels like a quiet meditation—one that resists decoration in favor of depth. The show pares back to essentials: fluid silhouettes, monochromatic layers, raw edges, and occasional shocks of color. It's less about spectacle, more about presence, fragility, and what clothes can convey without shouting. At 81, Yamamoto doesn't chase trends; he deepens what he's already mastered. Structure is present but softened. The collection opens

Sarah Burton continues her evolving dialogue with Givenchy's legacy this SS26, crafting what feels like "powerful femininity" reimagined—where strength is not in fortress but in vulnerability, where tailoring yields to exposure, and where the tension between what's covered and uncovered becomes central. The show leans not into overt theatricality, but into the quiet confidence of self-possession. From the outset, Burton establishes a vocabulary of sharp lines: cut-away jacket

At Nina Ricci SS26, Harris Reed stakes an identity that is raw, confident, and unapologetically self-defined. Drawing from icons like David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Patti Smith, and the New York Dolls (all known for gender-fluid rebellion and amplified style), Reed does more than homage: he folds those influences into what he calls "character building." His moodboard breathes rock-and-roll swagger, and the runway confirms that Nina Ricci's future is as much about a

Vetements SS26 follows its signature dialectic of chaos and polish, spectacle and provocation. Staged in a crumbling Paris building, the show is visually loud—tearing down walls, layering textures, and combining streetwear tropes with more formal or even theatrical elements. It's not a collection that seeks comfort; it thrives in tension. From start to finish, there's a sense of maximalism: inflated proportions, sheer overlays, provocation in slogans, and a loud techno sounds

Giambattista Valli begins SS26 from within. Confronted with global turbulence, he turns inward—toward notions of home, solace, and quiet resistance. In his show notes, he cites Dutch Masters' still lifes and Vermeer's interiors: paintings where shadow and light converse, where the humble object becomes sanctified. On the runway, this dialogue unfolds in fabric: raw canvas meets vaporous chiffon; neutral tones deepen into soft nuance. The house balances austerity with feminini

When Jean-Claude Jitrois unveiled his Spring/Summer 2026 offering at Paris Fashion Week, it arrived not as mere clothing but as a cinematic manifesto. Titled "Freedom has no destination. Only the road." the collection radiates motion, rebellion, and skin-sensing luxury. At the heart of this collection is Jitrois's signature domain: stretch leather that hugs, sculpts, and performs. From the first look, sculpted mini-dresses in lambskin appeared almost like second skins—aggress

When Alice Vaillant returned her creative gaze to the storied stage of the Opéra Bastille for her Spring/Summer 2026 collection, the result was less a runway show and more a choreographed reflection on movement, memory, and modern femininity. The narrative of a former ballet dancer turned designer infused the collection with an undercurrent of discipline and dream-like ambition. The collection opens with the spectacle of a deconstructed tutu dress crafted from organza and tul

This season's Issey Miyake asks us to flip the script: what if clothing had its own agency, its own voice? In SS26, Kondo imagines a world where garments are no longer silent accompaniments to the body but participants in presence. The show-titled "Being Garments, Being Sentient” unfolds in Centre Pompidou with designs that tug, extend, wrap, and sometimes almost escape their wearers. It's a collection that feels like part philosophy, part costume, part choreographed experime

Stepping into Jonathan Anderson's long shadow, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez opened their tenure at Loewe with spring colors, Spanish textures, and a confidence that felt both respectful of the house's roots and keen to steer it forward. The energy of SS26 pulses through bold primary hues, painterly inspiration, leather craftsmanship, and a mix of structure and ease that signals a new chapter. What catches you first in this collection is the colour-royal blue, fiery re

With SS26, Jun Takahashi takes what felt like an emotional, tension-filled chapter and begins to steady it. The collection builds upon his "But Beautiful" lineage—not as a blunt homage, but as an evolution. Undercover seems less interested in raw shock or maximalist gestures this season, and more in refining identity, embracing subtle contradictions between beauty and unease. What emerges is a collection that both continues Takahashi's legacy of poetic disruption and suggests

In the current season of bold statements and flamboyant spectacle, Gabriele Colangelo's Spring/Summer 2026 collection emerges as a study in deliberate quietude—and that, in itself, becomes its most powerful statement. The collection distills his signature commitment to fine craftsmanship, material intelligence, and tailored restraint into something both poised and quietly profound. From the opening looks, Colangelo plays with architecture and fluidity in equal measure. Jacket

When Leonard Paris presented its Spring/Summer 2026 collection during Paris Fashion Week, under creative director Georg Lux, the mood was unapologetically bold yet anchored in the brand's print-centric DNA. According to the official show write-ups, the collection took its cue from sun-washed Californian glamour-think mid-century poolside leisure, palm-lined avenues, poppy fields, and vintage flight-lounge ease. From the start, Leonard leaned hard into an exuberant palette: pa

Spring/Summer 2026 marks a defining turning point for Isabel Marant. After 30 years at the creative helm, Isabel Marant has stepped back from designing day-to-day, handing over the reins to long-time collaborator Kim Bekker. The SS26 show isn't merely a debut, but a statement of continuity, of identity preserved, and of voice passed on. Bekker's first full season captures the familiar boho, the relaxed Parisian nonchalance, but under her it feels lightly re-worked-weathered,.
