The clock above counts down to the opening day of Paris Fashion Week — Fall/Winter 2026, scheduled for March 2-10, 2026 across Paris venues.
Paris Fashion Week FW26 is the marquee close of the FW26 international cycle, presenting autumn-winter womenswear collections that will hit stores from late summer 2026. The Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode (FHCM) runs the official calendar and adjudicates which houses qualify for the schedule. FW26 is being read by editors as the season Paris fully resets after a wave of creative-director changes — Hedi Slimane out of Celine, Sarah Burton stepping into Givenchy, and Demna's transition from Balenciaga to Gucci all rewriting the front-row map.
The FW26 venues lean heavily on the Louvre's Cour Carrée tent, the Grand Palais (now in its full post-restoration capacity), and a series of historic Marais hotels for the smaller couture-adjacent labels. Expect heavy outerwear, knitwear focus, and tailoring-as-narrative — autumn-collection codes that reward Paris's editorial-heavy front rows.
The most-watched moment is Sarah Burton's first proper Givenchy outing on a Paris runway after her Spring 2026 debut. Demna's first womenswear collection at Gucci will technically show in Milan but ricochet through the Paris reviews. Other anchors: Chanel under Matthieu Blazy delivering his second womenswear collection, Loewe in its post-Jonathan-Anderson chapter, and Saint Laurent's Anthony Vaccarello continuing the brand's minimalist tailoring trajectory. Jacquemus, Coperni, Marine Serre, and Schiaparelli round out the buzz tier.
The FHCM's fhcm.paris site publishes the daily schedule. Vogue Runway and Vogue Paris carry the full look-by-look galleries within hours; Chanel, Dior, Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton and Hermès all livestream on YouTube and TikTok. Le Monde and Le Figaro carry Paris-specific industry context; WWD and Business of Fashion handle market and retail analysis. Most shows fall between 10:00 CET and 21:00 CET.
PFW FW26 closes the FW26 cycle that opens at New York Fashion Week FW26, continues through London Fashion Week FW26, and Milan Fashion Week FW26. Pair with Paris Haute Couture Spring 2026 for the January preview season, and BRIT Awards 2026 and Met Gala 2026 for adjacent red-carpet moments.
