Paris Fashion Week AW26 is big on statements, not subtlety
Jonathan Anderson turns a garden into a Dior runway, Vaquera experiments with unhinged ’60s-inspired shapes and Hodakova finds (more) ways to make garments out of furniture.

With a multitude of creative director debuts, from Duran Lantink’s new Jean Paul Gaultier to Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel debut, SS26 was a pivotal moment for a fashion industry in change.
Mia Goth wore custom Dior by Jonathan Anderson, Jacob Elordi was suited and booted in new era Louise Trotter Bottega Veneta, while Ayo Edebiri teased Matthieu Blazy's new Chanel chapter.
Dior has never been defined by a single image, but by a mentality: elegance, craftsmanship, femininity and fantasy. Now, with the former Loewe man’s quiet revolution steering the ship, his subtle layering feels timely and sincere.
The French capital had quite the roster this season, from Willy Chavarria’s Paris debut to an LV show that brought Pharrell Williams and Nigo back together, and loads more.
Pharrell Williams started the week with a spectacular Louis Vuitton runway show in the UNESCO gardens, while Jonathan Anderson ended with a Loewe collection that will be like catnip for fashion editors.
