Paris Fashion Week: the next season is almost here
The womenswear Spring/Summer 2027 season runs from 28 September to 6 October 2026.
Paris is preparing to turn its attention to next summer. The womenswear Spring/Summer 2027 season is scheduled for 28 September to 6 October 2026, according to the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode. The calendar label looks ahead; the shows happen this autumn.
That small distinction makes the fashion schedule easier to follow. A collection’s season is not the date of its presentation. For readers joining the conversation from outside the industry, keeping both dates in view prevents an upcoming show from being mistaken for an event months away.
More than a runway schedule
The federation’s provisional calendar separates shows, presentations and online viewing formats. Some entries are invitation-only, while others identify digital access or livestreams. A listing on the calendar does not by itself mean that a visitor can buy a seat or walk into the venue.
The week also includes an industry setting beyond the runway. FHCM’s SPHERE showroom supports emerging designers and connects them with the professional ecosystem. It offers another way to understand fashion week: as a place where collections meet the people who may bring them to market.
The federation itself brings together different parts of French fashion, including womenswear, menswear and haute couture. These are related but distinct calendars and activities. The forthcoming dates refer specifically to the womenswear ready-to-wear season, rather than every fashion event in Paris.
How to follow the coming season
For an English-speaking follower, the best preparation is a short list of houses or designers to watch, paired with the official format for each presentation. Check again closer to the date: a provisional timetable is useful for planning but remains open to revision.
WHIF will approach the season with a simple question: what do the collections actually show? Before the presentations take place, announcements can tell us who is scheduled and how to follow. They cannot yet support claims about the looks, reactions or trends that will emerge.
