Paris Fashion Week Summer Spring 2026 Details - Jordan News
Paris Fashion Week Summer Spring 2026 Details Paris Fashion Week returns for summer and spring 2026, from September 29 to October 7, 2025, to turn the "City of Light" into a major fashion runway, to which the eyes of the whole world turn, but not only because of fashion, but this edition holds many surprises. اضافة اعلان New Creative Directors: This season, the runways in Paris are witnessing many new faces, including new creative directors, who take the helm and carry a lot of responsibilities, after long journeys of senior managers with these roles. Therefore, Paris is expected to witness a new revolution in the world of fashion, next September. Jonathan Anderson at Dior: Creative designer Jonathan Anderson presents his first women's collection with the prestigious fashion house Dior. It is expected to reshape the Maison's feminine identity, with a different look in the men's collection during its latest show. Pierpaolo Piccioli in Balenciaga: Everyone is eagerly waiting for Pierpaolo Piccioli's first collection with Balenciaga, after he painted a poetic epic, and a different character with Valentino, through the previous collections, so some are expecting a new collection, which radically redefines the most unusual house in the world of fashion. Matthew Blaze at Chanel: One of the most anticipated shows of the season is Matthew Blaze, who will be showcasing his first Chanel ready-to-wear collection on October 6, 2025, and after a critically acclaimed show at Bottega Veneta, Blaze brings a special artistic touch to a house known for its traditions. Glenn Martins at Maison Margiela: Following the launch of Margila's critically acclaimed haute couture collection earlier this year, Glenn Martins returns on October 4 with his first ready-to-wear collection for the House, as many are eager to see Martins speak fluently once again in Margila's disjointed and unexpected language. Jack McCullough and Lázaro Hernandez in "Loewe": Loewe has a special style and has seen a lot of popularity in recent years. With Jack McCullough and Lázaro Hernandez in the first group at Paris Spring/Summer 2026 next week, many are expecting a paradigm shift for the Spanish brand after Jonathan Anderson's creative career, but it is a move that could expand Loevi's horizons globally. Miguel Castro Freitas in Mugler: Freitas will make his debut with Mugler on October 2, 2025. Most recently, he was the Creative Director at Sportmax, but he also spent years at Dior, Dries Van Noten and Saint Laurent. His appointment signals a vision for Mugler's bold legacy, which we are eager to see. Duran Lantinck in Jean Paul Gaultier: Jean-Paul Gaultier returns to the world of ready-to-wear for the first time in more than a decade, led by Dutch designer Duran Lantinck. The premiere will take place on October 5 at 4:30 p.m. and promises to embody Gauthier's revolutionary spirit through Lantinck's radical perspective. zahrat al khaleej

The Couture Challenge—It Was a Face-Off of Extremes on the Streets at the Fall 2025 Shows
Do opposites attract? Couture might be all about glamour and glitz on the runway, but that's not the whole story. Take Pierpaolo Piccioli, who showed up at Demna's final Balenciaga show on the back of a motorcycle in dad sneakers. Or consider Sofia Coppola, who proves that you can in fact wear a pair of simple white jeans to sit front-row at Chanel. But of course couture isn't couture without some opulence, of the kind that Cardi B. delivered at Schiaparelli and Lisa Rinna gave at Balenciaga. Below we've rounded up the extremes of street style at the fall 2025 couture shows in Paris. Round 1: Jeans or Couture? Are you more Sofia C or Cardi B?

Paris Haute Couture Week 2025: Balenciaga bids farewell to Demna, Maison Margiela wows with upcycled statement pieces, and Robert Wun delivers a masterclass in surrealist horror
From a celebrity-filled farewell to a much-awaited debut, the last day of the autumn/winter 2025 haute couture shows was filled with great moments. Here are highlights from three shows. Balenciaga: Demna's swansong A houndstooth skirt suit paired with a ladylike handbag and jewellery by Lorraine Schwartz.

He is being replaced by Italian designer Pierpaolo Piccioli, formerly of Valentino. Luxury group Kering – the company behind Balenciaga, Gucci , and other high-profile brands such as Saint Laurent and Bottega Veneta – is pulling out all the stops to pay homage to Demna's time at Balenciaga. In the days leading up to his last show, the company hosted 'Demna by Balenciaga', an exhibition held at Kering's headquarters on the Left Bank of Paris. The exhibition charted highlights from his remarkable 10-year run, from the designer's show-stealing couture ball gowns to his meme-worthy 'ugly sneakers' and other viral creations.

Balenciaga's 54th haute couture collection, the designer's swansong, was a fitting way to cap such a remarkable ride.

Demna to take final bow at Balenciaga during Paris Haute Couture Week as Glenn Martens debuts at Maison Margiela
PARIS, July 8 — Provocative Georgian showman Demna is to take a final bow after 10 years at Balenciaga during Paris Haute Couture Week, which begins Monday and will also feature a debut for Maison Margiela's new chief creative. Demna, known for his daring work as well as controversies during his decade-long stint at Kering-owned Balenciaga, will unveil his final collection on Wednesday in what is expected to be one of the highlights of the week. Not to be confused with Paris Fashion Week, Haute Couture Week takes place exclusively in Paris — in January for spring-summer collections and July for autumn-winter. It is a uniquely French event dedicated to handcrafted, one-of-a-kind creations made to wear at red carpets, galas, and other high-profile events. The 44-year-old Demna, acclaimed by millennials and Gen-Z stars from Kim Kardashian to British pop sensation Charli XCX, has been tasked with reviving the flagging fortunes of Gucci by Kering CEO Francois-Henri Pinault. After multiplying sales at Balenciaga, where he made headlines with a US$2,000 'Ikea' bag and a US$1,800 so-called 'trash pouch', he is currently being honoured with an exhibition titled 'Balenciaga by Demna' at Kering's Paris headquarters. He will be succeeded by Italian designer Pierpaolo Piccioli, who is set to present his first collection in October during Paris Women's Fashion Week. As usual, Schiaparelli will open Couture Week, followed later in the day by shows from Iris Van Herpen — returning after a year-long break — as well as Georges Hobeika, Imane Ayissi, Rahul Mishra, Julie de Libran, and Giambattista Valli. After Demna's farewell on Wednesday, Belgian designer Glenn Martens will find himself in the spotlight as he unveils a first collection for Maison Margiela following his appointment in January to succeed British designer John Galliano. American designer Michael Rider, who succeeded Hedi Slimane as chief designer at Celine, unveiled his first collection for the luxury French brand on Sunday, outside the official calendar. Absences On Tuesday, Chanel will present the final collection created by its in-house design studio, the fifth since Virginie Viard's sudden departure in June 2024. Her successor, the discreet and highly respected Franco-Belgian designer Matthieu Blazy, was appointed in December and will showcase his first collection for Chanel in October. Up to Thursday, 27 houses will unveil their creations, including Elie Saab, Armani Prive, Aelis, Viktor&Rolf, Adeline Andre, and Dubai-based Rami Al Ali who is set to become the first Syrian to join the official calendar. Following a spate of major changes at fashion houses, some absences will stand out, particularly Dior's. After a highly anticipated debut during the men's Fashion Week on June 27, newly appointed artistic director Jonathan Anderson is holding back his first haute couture collection for January 2026. Named in early June to lead Dior's women's and couture lines as well, the 40-year-old Northern Irishman has become the first person since founder Christian Dior himself to oversee all three branches of the house. Jean Paul Gaultier is also missing. Dutch designer Duran Lantink, appointed as the brand's permanent artistic director in April, will make his debut during Women's Fashion Week in October. Since stepping back in 2020, Jean Paul Gaultier has handed over the reins of his couture collections to a series of guest designers, including Olivier Rousteing, Ludovic de Saint Sernin, Haider Ackermann, and Simone Rocha. The week will wrap up with a show by Swiss designer Kevin Germanier. — AFP
