Get ready, fashion fanatics! Paris Fashion Week Men’s Fall/Winter 2026 and Couture Week are just around the corner, promising a whirlwind of style, innovation, and, of course, a few surprises. Let's dive into what's making waves this season.
Paris Fashion Week Men’s kicks off with a packed schedule. From January 20th to 25th, we're looking at 35 shows and 32 presentations. While it's slightly less than last year's, the quality is sure to be top-notch.
Louis Vuitton, under the creative direction of Pharrell Williams, will set the stage. Day one also spotlights Japanese label Auralee, with designer Ryota Iwai, who was voted one of fashion’s “Most Underrated Designers”. Also, keep an eye out for Jeanne Friot, and Saudi label KML, presenting at the Institut du Monde Arabe.
Day two might be Dior's moment, but Kenzo is shaking things up with a presentation inside Kenzo Takada’s house. This homecoming is described as a 'highly symbolic' event, blending fashion, design, architecture, gastronomy, and music.
Later, Jaden Smith will unveil his debut collection for Christian Louboutin. Acne Studios is also getting in on the action with an exhibition at its gallery space, featuring the work of photographer Jordan Hemingway.
Emeric Tchatchoua of 3.Paradis will stage a show, just days after being made Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et Lettres. Colm Dillane of KidSuper will be signing his coffee table book at cocktail bar Cravan. Ami Paris, with founder Alexandre Mattiussi as the Andam Fashion Awards jury president, will close the day.
Thursday is equally packed, with Issey Miyake, Rick Owens, Yohji Yamamoto, and Dries Van Noten. Don't miss the Camperlab show, the last one by creative director Achilles Ion Gabriel, and Californian brand ERL's first presentation on the Paris schedule.
Tickets to the Kartik Research show will be highly sought after. Its founder, Kartik Kumra, gained attention for a custom tie he created for New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Willy Chavarria returns for his third season, and his shows are always thought-provoking. Last June, he opened his show with 35 men in white T-shirts made in partnership with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
The weekend is equally buzzing, with Kiko Kostadinov celebrating his label's 10th anniversary. Magliano by Luca Magliano, winner of LVMH’s Karl Lagerfeld Prize in 2023, is also on the official show calendar. And of course, Véronique Nichanian will present her final collection for Hermès.
Patou will show off-schedule on January 25th, and Simon Porte Jacquemus is presenting his co-ed collection at the Picasso Museum.
But here's where it gets controversial... Berluti is shifting to a single annual presentation in June 2026, moving away from strict seasonality.
Then, it's onto Couture Week, from January 26th to 29th. Expect 29 houses to showcase their collections, including the first couture shows by Anderson at Dior and Matthieu Blazy at Chanel. Giorgio Armani Privé by Silvana Armani will also be a highlight.
On the sidelines, Roger Vivier will present its Pièce Unique Spring/Summer 2026 collection, and Sotheby’s and Christie’s will host auctions featuring collections from Doris Brynner and Mathilde Favier, respectively.
And finally, if you're in the industry, you'll want to check out the new Sant Ambroeus restaurant and Cassaro’s in Saint Germain-des-Près.
