Paris might mark the final stop of fashion month, but such is the weighting of the season that several of its biggest shows are yet to come (Paris Fashion Week has a crammed nine-day-long schedule, nearly double the length of its counterparts in New York, London and Milan). Among them: Dior, which will begin proceedings on Tuesday afternoon (3 March 2026) with Jonathan Anderson’s sophomore womenswear show for the house, and Chanel, where Matthieu Blazy will present his own second act (both showed acclaimed collections during haute couture week in January). Others who are relatively new in their tenures include Michael Rider at Celine (the American designer will show on March 7), Duran Lantink at Jean Paul Gaultier (March 8), and Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez at Loewe (March 6).
There will also be a swansong: Belgian designer Pieter Mulier will present his final collection at Alaïa, the culmination of a five-year tenure defined by commercial expansion and critical success, honing a vision of what he calls ‘modern beauty’. Having taken over from Azzedine Alaïa after the couturier’s death, his next move is the Italian fashion house Versace, where he succeeds Dario Vitale, who only lasted a single season.
There is, of course, plenty to look out for besides. Saint Laurent will hold its usual Tuesday evening show (3 March 2026) in what is sure to continue Anthony Vaccarello’s veneration of silhouette and form; Issey Miyake will look to continue its brilliant run of shows under design lead Satoshi Kondo (March 6); and shows from Miu Miu and Louis Vuitton will close out fashion month on Tuesday (March 10). There will also be the usual slew of avant-garde labels, from Paris and beyond: Rick Owens, Comme des Garçons, Junya Watanabe and Matières Fécales (among others), will all show collections filled with ideas across the course of the week.

The Dior invite is a pair of miniature Tuileries chairs

Despite a handful of smaller independent labels showing yesterday, the Dior show this afternoon – taking place in the historic Tuileries Gardens – marks the definitive start of Paris Fashion Week. It is a moment made all the bigger by the creative director at its helm: the voraciously creative Jonathan Anderson, who will show his sophomore womenswear ready-to-wear collection for the house. After a brilliant couture collection this past January, which referenced the curves of Dame Magdalene Odundo’s ceramics and a posy of cyclamen gifted to him by former Dior creative director John Galliano, expectations are high.
The show invite for this season is an appealing pair of miniature green outdoor chairs, a reproduction of those which are scattered about the Tuileries Gardens – a longtime gathering spot for Parisian locals and tourists alike. They were created by Edmond & Fils, the French manufacturer who has created the original Tuileries chairs for the Louvre Museum since 2008. Jack Moss
