Spring/Summer 2026 Fashion Week promises a stylistic revolution, marked by anticipated firsts from the biggest fashion houses.

Paris Fashion Week is about to open its doors on September 29, and already, the excitement is palpable. This spring/summer 2026 vintage promises to be a turning point in the contemporary history of fashion, marked by a series of firsts that electrify the industry. Headlining the show, <a href="https://www.lofficiel.com/industry-trends/mia-goth-devient-ambassadrice-dior-sous-la-vision-creative-de-jonathan-anderson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jonathan Anderson</a> , artistic director of Loewe for over a decade, will sign his very first women's collection for <a href="https://www.lofficiel.com/industry-trends/jonathan-anderson-est-nomme-directeur-artistique-de-toutes-les-lignes-chez-dior" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christian Dior</a> on October 1 at 2:30 p.m. The anticipation is immense: will he fuse Dior's tailoring rigor with his very personal surrealist imagination? On the same day, Pierpaolo Piccioli 's cerebral elegance will take over <a href="https://www.lofficiel.com/fashion-week/avec-balenciaga-couture-54-un-adieu-sculptural-signe-demna" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Balenciaga</a> at 8 p.m., in what promises to be one of the most scrutinized shows of the week&mdash;a new chapter after his long adventure at <a href="https://www.lofficiel.com/industry-trends/alessandro-michele-campagne-onirique-et-intimiste-spring-2026-valentino" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Valentino</a> . Another major risk: <a href="https://www.lofficiel.com/fashion-week/matthieu-blazy-signe-un-nouveau-depart-a-new-york-pour-chanel-metiers-d-art" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matthieu Blazy</a> will be making his debut at Chanel at the end of the week, on October 6 at 8 p.m., after having redefined the codes of discreet luxury at Bottega Veneta. He won't be cutting his teeth alone: the visionary duo <a href="https://www.lofficiel.com/industry-trends/jack-mccollough-et-lazaro-hernandez-sont-nommes-directeurs-artistiques-de-loewe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez</a> , founders of Proenza Schouler, will take the reins at Loewe on October 3 at 11:30 a.m., for a fresh start at this recently revitalized Spanish house. And how can we ignore the intriguing and unpredictable arrival of <a href="https://www.lofficiel.com/industry-trends/duran-lantink-est-nomme-directeur-artistique-de-jean-paul-gaultier" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Duran Lantink</a> at Jean Paul Gaultier, scheduled for October 5 at 4:30 p.m.? The Dutch enfant terrible, known for his hybrid and upcycled pieces, could well tip Gaultier's legacy into an era of unabashed anti-luxury. In the background, mainstays like Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton, Herm&egrave;s, Balmain, Chlo&eacute; and Valentino will provide the show, while more conceptual houses such as Courr&egrave;ges , Margiela and Rick Owens will shake up the established order with their radical visions. But it is these new appointments that will keep Paris on the edge of its seat: the fashion capital is about to experience a moment of change, between heritage and reinvention. A true stylistic crossroads, where the most legendary houses choose to rewrite themselves.
