The Paris Fashion Week Mode Féminine Printemps/Été 2027 runs from Monday, September 28 to Tuesday, October 6, 2026. Nine days, 68 shows and 33 presentations: it is the densest of the four international fashion weeks, and the one that closes the season.
The calendar is published by the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode (FHCM), the professional organisation that brings together French couture and fashion houses and sets, season after season, the list of official shows. Appearing on it is not automatic: this is the list that organises the week and determines international press accreditation. The document it has just published carries the mention « provisoire ». It nonetheless gives the framework of the Paris fortnight: the days on which Dior, Chanel and Louis Vuitton show, the debuts of a creative director, and the return of two houses that had gone to present elsewhere.

The five shows not to miss
Christian Dior, Tuesday September 29 at 2:30 pm
This is the appointment the industry will watch most closely, and for a reason that goes beyond the collection. Jonathan Anderson has directed, since June 2025, all of the house's fashion collections, men's, women's and haute couture combined: a scope no one had held before him at Dior. He succeeds Maria Grazia Chiuri, who was in the role for nine years.
September 29 will be his third women's ready-to-wear show. His first two divided opinion, which is rare for a house of this size. But the figure that matters lies elsewhere: in its first-half 2026 results, LVMH states that the Fashion and Leather Goods division returned to organic growth in the second quarter, after seven consecutive quarters of decline, and attributes part of this recovery to Anderson's first creations.
In other words, a divisive creative direction in the press produces results in stores. It is this tension that the September collection will confirm or disprove.
Maison Margiela, Tuesday September 29 at 5:30 pm
The house returns to Paris after a detour that was not incidental. On April 1, 2026, Glenn Martens presented the autumn-winter collection in a Shanghai shipyard, with staging by OMA/AMO: the first time Margiela had shown outside Paris since its founding in 1988.
Glenn Martens has directed the house since January 2025, appointed by the OTB group to succeed John Galliano after ten years. He is keeping the direction of Diesel in parallel.
The economic context gives weight to this return. Over fiscal year 2025, the OTB group declined by 4.8%, to 1.7 billion euros. Margiela posted the best performance there with growth of 8.4%. The house is returning to Paris in a position of strength within a group that is, itself, contracting.
Courrèges, Wednesday September 30 at 10:30 am
This is one of only two creative director debuts of the season, and the clearest case on the calendar.
Drew Henry, South African, was appointed on March 31, 2026. His background is that of a practitioner rather than a signature name: trained at Central Saint Martins, he was a designer at Céline under Phoebe Philo, ready-to-wear design director at JW Anderson, then senior design director at Burberry alongside Daniel Lee. This is his first creative director position.
He succeeds Nicolas Di Felice, who left after five years to focus on personal projects. Courrèges is controlled by Artémis, the Pinault family holding company.
A first show is rarely judged on the collection alone. This one will above all show what reading Henry makes of a house whose vocabulary, geometry, whiteness, the sixties, is both an asset and a constraint.
Chanel, Monday October 5 at 8 pm
Matthieu Blazy has been creative director of Chanel's fashion activities since April 2025, a scope covering haute couture, ready-to-wear and accessories. He succeeded Virginie Viard after fifteen months without a creative director, and he is the fourth designer in the house's history.
October 5 will be his third seasonal ready-to-wear collection, and his seventh collection across all categories, following the October 2025 ready-to-wear, the Métiers d'art in New York, two haute couture collections and a cruise show in Biarritz.
The stakes have changed in nature. His first outings were received as successes, but they benefited from the anticipation built up during the interim period. This is the first season in which the result can no longer be attributed to the novelty effect.
Louis Vuitton, Tuesday October 6 at 6:30 pm
Louis Vuitton closes the week, as the house has regularly done for several seasons. Nicolas Ghesquière has directed the women's collections since November 2013; his contract was renewed for five years in November 2023, on the occasion of his tenth anniversary.
The season falls within an anniversary year: the Monogram, created by Georges Vuitton in 1896, turns one hundred and thirty years old, and LVMH is making it a throughline of its 2026 programming.
As with Dior, the context is that of a division just emerging from a long decline. Closing Fashion Week is an exercise in affirmation; this time it takes place on still unstable ground.

How to follow the shows
Almost all shows are by invitation only. The calendar specifies, house by house, the planned mode of broadcast for the public.
Thirty shows have a livestream. For the others, the FHCM indicates, depending on the case, digital broadcast after the event, or the later online release of a film.

A calendar that remains provisional
The document published by the FHCM carries the mention « calendrier provisoire ». Times may be moved, houses added or withdrawn before the opening.
We will update this article if the Fédération publishes a new revision.
For professionals
Paris closes a tightly packed international sequence: New York from September 10 to 15, London from September 17 to 21, Milan from September 22 to 28, then Paris from September 28 to October 6. Milan ends on September 28, the very day Paris begins.
The FHCM's SPHERE showroom, dedicated to young designers, is held at the Palais de Tokyo from September 30 to October 6.
Travel schedules are set against times that can shift until the last moment: checking the official calendar the day before remains the rule.
And on the hiring front?
Behind the shows, the collections and the changes in creative direction, the industry continues to hire. A new creative direction rarely arrives alone: it brings a studio, production teams, and commercial profiles to support the repositioning.
Catwalks aggregates open opportunities in fashion, luxury and beauty, allowing professionals to follow the industry's movements right down to the job market.
