Paris Fashion Week September 2026: runway show schedule, times, and things to do in Paris

Paris Fashion Week settembre 2026: calendario delle sfilate

Fashion Week · Paris

Paris Fashion Week Women’s for September 2026 runs from Monday, September 28 to Tuesday, October 6 and presents the Spring/Summer 2027 collections. Nine days, 101 brands, and 67 shows: Julie Kegels, fresh from winning the LVMH Prize, opens the week, and Louis Vuitton closes it. Below is the full day-by-day schedule, with times from the official Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode calendar, followed by exhibitions to see, places where fashion people gather in the evening, and new names to watch.

Paris comes right after Milan: if you missed Italian Fashion Week, the schedule is still in our article on Milan Fashion Week in September, and the evening at the Galleria is covered in our piece on Vogue World Milan.

What to know before you start

There are two debuts, both at mid-sized brands. Drew Henry presents his first collection for Courrèges (Wednesday 30, 10:30 a.m.) and Kai Nesselrath his first for Carven (Thursday 1, 12:30 p.m.). There are no debuts at the major fashion houses: Jonathan Anderson at Dior, Matthieu Blazy at Chanel, Michael Rider at Celine, and Pierpaolo Piccioli at Balenciaga are in their second season or beyond—the point when it becomes clear whether the new direction has found its path.

Two names return after showing elsewhere last season: Valentino, which went to Rome, and Maison Margiela, which went to Shanghai.

Alaïa presents without a creative director, following Pieter Mulier’s move to Versace.

Not on the schedule: Coperni, McQueen, which is returning to London, and Rabanne, where Olivier Rousteing will make his debut in March 2027.

Shows are by invitation, but almost all can be watched live. The schedule below indicates which ones. Chanel and Hermès are exceptions: no livestream; the show film comes out a few hours later.

All times are Paris time, the same as in Italy. The official schedule doesn’t publish show venues, so we haven’t listed them: they’re revealed in the invitations.

Monday, September 28: Julie Kegels opens the week after winning the LVMH Prize

The first day is for new names. Julie Kegels, a 27-year-old Belgian, won the LVMH Prize on September 4 and opens the week. At 5 p.m., Maxhosa Africa, the South African knitwear brand by Laduma Ngxokolo, joins the official schedule for the first time, and at 7 p.m. Matières Fécales closes the evening. nss magazine lists it among the week’s most anticipated brands. That night, at 9 p.m., there’s the only major event open to everyone: the L’Oréal Paris show at Place Joffre, which we’ll discuss below.

A little-known fact: from Worth to today's federation

Paris Fashion Week has a longer history than any other. In 1858, Englishman Charles Frederick Worth opens the first couture house at 7 rue de la Paix. Ten years later, in 1868, the Chambre Syndicale is founded, the forerunner of today's federation, and since 1945, «Haute Couture» has been a designation protected by French law: it cannot be used by just anyone.

Ready-to-wear officially enters the scene on October 8, 1973, when the Chambre Syndicale for ready-to-wear, the one for men's fashion, and the federation that brings them together are founded on the same day. Since 2017, it has been called the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode and organizes four weeks a year: two for womenswear, in September and March, and two for menswear.

One interesting detail about this edition: from September 30 to October 6, the Palais de Tokyo hosts SPHERE, the federation's showroom dedicated to emerging designers, which has been running since 2020.

Beyond the shows: exhibitions and an event open to everyone

Visitors in Paris without an invitation still have plenty to see, and this year the timing is fortunate: two fashion exhibitions open just as the week begins.

  • «Look ! 40 ans de mode au musée» at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, 107 rue de Rivoli, from September 30 to April 4, 2027. It celebrates the fashion museum's 40th anniversary with 40 silhouettes and around 220 works, including pieces by Vionnet, Valentino, Alaïa and Balenciaga.
  • «Un vestiaire à soi» at the Palais Galliera, 10 avenue Pierre 1er de Serbie, from September 26 to February 14, 2027: 19th-century women making the men's wardrobe their own, with Rosa Bonheur's wardrobe on display almost in its entirety. Tuesday to Sunday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Fridays until 9 p.m.; tickets €14, free for under-18s.
  • «Tisser, broder, sublimer», also at the Palais Galliera, until October 18: more than 350 pieces exploring the crafts behind couture, from Lesage embroidery to Lemarié feathers.
  • La Galerie Dior, 30 avenue Montaigne, with its new exhibition route from Christian Dior to Jonathan Anderson: around 150 designs across 13 rooms.

The event open to everyone is the L'Oréal Paris fashion show, on Monday, September 28 at 9 p.m. in Place Joffre, with the Eiffel Tower as its backdrop: admission is free with registration, subject to availability, and there will also be a livestream.

Two places to avoid, however: the Musée Yves Saint Laurent is closed for renovation until autumn 2027, and the Fondation Cartier has no exhibitions on until October 22.

Where to go in the evening, after the shows

These are the spots French magazine Numéro recommends for fashion week gatherings, plus one picked by Wallpaper*’s editors. They’re not private venues: they’re open to everyone, and it’s where designers, buyers and journalists cross paths after the shows.

  • La Perle, 78 rue Vieille du Temple, in the Marais: the neighborhood bar where you can stay out late over a gin and tonic or a beer.
  • Le Progrès, 1 rue de Bretagne, also in the Marais: a classic Parisian bar-tabac.
  • Silencio, 142 rue Montmartre: the club founded by David Lynch, where you can dance until late.
  • Caviar Kaspia, 17 place de la Madeleine: famous for its baked potato with caviar.
  • Maxim's, 3 rue Royale, reopened at the end of 2023.
  • Loulou, 107 rue de Rivoli, in the same building as the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, with a terrace overlooking the Tuileries: a great match for the “Look!” exhibition.
  • Lapérouse, 51 quai des Grands Augustins: the historic restaurant on the Seine, open since 1766.
  • Brasserie Emil, in the 1st arrondissement: a break between shows recommended by Wallpaper*’s fashion editors.

Breakout brands to watch

Julie Kegels. Belgian, 27 years old, she won the LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers on September 4, worth 400,000 euros, and opens the week. Few debuts arrive in Paris with such a recent accolade.

Marie Adam-Leenaerdt. Also Belgian, she comes from Balenciaga and founded her brand in 2023. In July, she won the Grand Prix ANDAM, the French fashion prize, and shows on Tuesday the 29th at 11:30 a.m.

Maxhosa Africa. Laduma Ngxokolo’s knitwear, built around motifs from Xhosa culture, makes its first appearance on the official show calendar: Monday the 28th at 5 p.m.

Matières Fécales. The name is deliberately provocative, and nss magazine lists it among this week’s most important brands: it closes the first evening, Monday at 7 p.m.

How to watch from home

The shows marked “live” in the calendar above stream on the fashion houses’ websites and social media channels, and the federation brings them together on the official calendar page. Among the major houses, Dior, Saint Laurent, Maison Margiela, Balenciaga, Chloé, Loewe, Celine, Miu Miu and Louis Vuitton stream live; Chanel and Hermès publish the show film a few hours later.

On the runway and in the boutique: Lacoste

Among the 101 brands on the calendar is Lacoste, on Sunday, October 4 at 10:30, live. It’s one of the brands we’ve carried for years: the polo shirts, knitwear and sweatshirts from the current season are in the Lacoste collection. The show presents next spring-summer; in the boutique, you’ll find this winter’s collection.
