The Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode (FHCM) has released the preliminary calendar of the Paris Fashion Week spring/summer 2026. The event, which includes 75 fashion shows and 36 presentations, takes place from September 29 to October 7, the French fashion association said last week.
The new names in the viewing calendar include Belgian Julie Kegels, the avant-garde brand Matières Fécales and the label of the same name for the new Marni chief designer Meryll Rogge. The Belgian Façon Jacmin is on the list of newcomers in the presentation program. There is also the Danish brand Ganni, which had organized in a fashion show in Paris for the first time in September 2024.
Large premieres and the most expected look
The season is also characterized by the return of several large brands with a new creative direction. The French brand Jean Paul Gaultier shows the first collection by Duran Lantink, Carven with Mark Thomas and Mugler with Miguel Castro Freitas. In addition, the duo Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez presented their vision for Loewe and Maison Margiela will be the first prêt-à-porter collection by the new chief designer Glenn Martens. The brands Celine, Vêtements, Agnès b., Thom Browne and Lanvin are also back.
One of the most expected views is probably that of Chanel. The French fashion house will be presenting Matthieu Blazy’s first collection on Monday, October 6th at 8pm, the former creative director of Bottega Veneta. Pierpaolo Piccioli’s first collection for Balenciaga is also eagerly awaited.
