Your Cheat Sheet to Paris Fashion Week Men's Fall/Winter 2026

This season’s Paris Fashion Week Men’s calendar packs plenty to be excited about. Dior creative director Jonathan Anderson and Dries Van Noten’s Julian Klausner will show their sophomore men’s collections; while Hermès will send off Véronique Nichanian, who is stepping down after 37 years and showing her final collection for the brand. The schedule, running from January 20 to 25, features 35 shows and 32 presentations, versus January 2025’s 37 shows and 30 presentations. Saint Laurent creative director Anthony Vaccarello will show his men’s collection during Couture Week. Louis Vuitton, whose men’s collections are designed by Pharrell Williams, will kick off Paris Fashon Week (PFW) Men’s. Other highlights on day one include Japanese label Auralee (designer Ryota Iwai was voted one of fashion’s “Most Underrated Designers” by Vogue Runway readers), as well as Jeanne Friot, who joined the official show calendar this season. Saudi label KML will present its collection at the Institut du Monde Arabe. Then, while you’re on the left bank, head to the presentation of Paris-based label Meta Campania Collective. Day two might be Dior day, but there’s more. Kenzo is holding a presentation instead of a runway show. As previously reported, the collection will be revealed inside Kenzo Takada’s house in Paris, “a highly symbolic homecoming”, according to the brand. “As part of a Kenzo takeover, the house evolves into a multifaceted creative environment, blending fashion, design, architecture, gastronomy and music into an immersive experience curated by [creative director] Nigo,” the company said in a statement. Later on, American rapper Jaden Smith, who is Christian Louboutin’s first men’s creative director, will present his debut collection for the house. In addition to its presentation, Acne Studios will open an exhibition at its gallery space Acne Paper Palais Royal, showcasing the work of photographer and director Jordan Hemingway. 3.Paradis will stage a show on January 21, just a few days after its founder Emeric Tchatchoua was made Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et Lettres by French culture minister Rachida Dati. KidSuper’s Colm Dillane, who is showing on Saturday, is signing his coffee table book, The Misadventures of Kidsuper, at cocktail bar Cravan. Ami Paris, whose founder Alexandre Mattiussi is this year’s jury president for the Andam Fashion Awards, will close the day. In addition to Issey Miyake, Rick Owens, Yohji Yamamoto and Dries Van Noten, Thursday includes the Camperlab show, the last one by creative director Achilles Ion Gabriel, who’s leaving the footwear company, and Californian brand ERL’s first presentation on the Paris schedule. Tickets to the Kartik Research show will be in high demand. Its New Delhi-based founder Kartik Kumra drew much attention for the custom tie he created for New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani for his swearing in. American designer Willy Chavarria returns for his third season in Paris. Last June, as the menswear season took place alongside continued ICE raids in the US, Chavarria opened his show with 35 men in white T-shirts made in partnership with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). It’s also a busy weekend. There’s Kiko Kostadinov, whose eponymous label is turning 10; Magliano by Luca Magliano, winner of LVMH’s Karl Lagerfeld Prize in 2023 and a new name of the official show calendar; and Véronique Nichanian, who will present her Hermès swansong 8pm.
