The Paris Fashion Week September 2026 schedule is set: the women’s Spring/Summer 2027 collections run from Monday, September 28 to Tuesday, October 6, 2026 (Paris time), across nine days. The FHCM provisional calendar lists 101 fashion houses — 68 runway shows and 33 presentations — making this the busiest women’s edition of the season and the closing act of the Big Four after New York, London, and Milan. If you want the full circuit, pair this with the Milan Fashion Week September 2026 schedule to chain your travel days.
Paris always tells its story through timing. A 10:00 slot is a statement made in daylight; a 20:00 slot belongs to a house that wants to own the evening conversation. This season the architecture reads clearly: a front-loaded opening on the 28th, a dense midweek stacked with heavyweights, and a final 48 hours — Chanel on Monday, Louis Vuitton on Tuesday — engineered as a sustained crescendo.

When is Paris Fashion Week September 2026?
Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2027 takes place September 28 to October 6, 2026. Julie Kegels opens the week with a 14:30 show on Monday the 28th, and Louis Vuitton closes it at 18:30 on Tuesday, October 6. The SPHERE emerging-designer showroom runs at the Palais de Tokyo from September 30 through October 6, in parallel with the official calendar.
The most anticipated shows
These are the appointments that will define the week’s fashion memory — and, by extension, the season’s accessory mood:
- Christian Dior (Tue, Sep 29, 14:30) — the house’s first look tends to reset silhouettes for an entire market tier.
- Saint Laurent (Tue, Sep 29, 21:00) — the latest slot of the day, a dominance play with high replay value.
- The Row (Wed, Sep 30, 12:00) — the rare show with no livestream, all discipline and word-of-mouth.
- Tom Ford (Wed, Sep 30, 20:00) — Haider Ackermann’s third act for the house, in the evening’s prime hour.
- Chloé (Thu, Oct 1, 10:00) — a daylight opener that usually sets the week’s bohemian temperature.
- Loewe (Thu, Oct 1, 11:30) — the show that flips the “object” conversation: craft, surrealism, desire.
- Balenciaga (Thu, Oct 1, 14:00) — Pierpaolo Piccioli’s vision continues to draw maximum scrutiny.
- Hermès (Sat, Oct 3, 15:00) — a show whose film is revealed from 6pm Paris time, a controlled image release.
- Miu Miu (Sun, Oct 4, 13:00) — often the season’s mood-setter for what buyers chase next.
- Valentino (Sun, Oct 4, 15:30) — Alessandro Michele’s baroque Valentino, back in Paris after a season in Rome.
- Chanel (Mon, Oct 5, 20:00) — the key evening slot on the penultimate day, with the show’s film revealed from 9pm Paris time: engineered for controlled image delivery.
- Louis Vuitton (Tue, Oct 6, 18:30) — the grand finale, closing the Spring 2027 season entirely.
Who’s returning to the Paris calendar
Nine labels stage comebacks this season, and the marquee names carry real weight. Valentino returns under Alessandro Michele on October 4 after presenting off-calendar in Rome last season. Maison Margiela comes back to the Paris women’s calendar on September 29 with Glenn Martens at the helm, following a Shanghai showing. Sacai rejoins the schedule on October 5, having shown during Paris menswear in June. Casablanca (Charaf Tajer) returns October 2, and Australian designer Christopher Esber and inclusive label Ester Manas are both back on the runway. Among the presentations, heritage house Léonard Paris, upcycling pioneer Xuly.Bët, and womenswear label Didu rejoin the official calendar.
The debuts and firsts to watch
Two creative-director debuts anchor the week’s new-guard energy: Drew Henry presents his first collection for Courrèges on September 30, and Kai Nesselrath makes his debut for Carven on October 1. South African label Maxhosa Africa reaches a milestone with its first appearance on the Paris runway calendar — founder Laduma Ngxokolo is celebrated for textile craftsmanship rooted in Xhosa beadwork. Two womenswear labels make their maiden calendar appearance as presentations: Parisian cashmere-knitwear designer Alexandra Golovanoff, and Fidan Novruzova, known for architectural cuts and a retro-futuristic hand.

Who’s missing from the September 2026 calendar — and why
A provisional FHCM calendar is as much about who sits it out as who shows up, and this season’s gaps split into three kinds. McQueen moves its presentation to London this season, reconnecting with its British roots. Rabanne and Nina Ricci are both between creative directors and skip the season in transition. US labels Off-White, Enfants Riches Déprimés, and Thom Browne give Paris a miss this round. And Marine Serre, Coperni, and Giambattista Valli have each withdrawn, reshaping their timing around private showroom sales and revised commercial calendars rather than a runway slot.
The week’s real power map
A few calendar tells matter if you’re tracking cultural winners, not just clothes:
- Tuesday night belongs to Saint Laurent. A 21:00 slot on Day 2 is the latest hour on the calendar — press is fresh, buyers are sharp, social is hungry.
- The Row keeps its silence. A 12:00 show with no livestream is a discipline play: the images travel by word of mouth and editor’s eye, not by feed.
- Chanel’s film delivery is strategy, not convenience. The show is an event; the film timing is distribution control — images released exactly when the house wants maximum attention and minimum noise.
- The final 48 hours are the season’s crescendo. Sunday stacks Miu Miu, Valentino, and Jean Paul Gaultier; Monday builds to Chanel; Tuesday closes on Louis Vuitton.
