There are two major debuts to look forward to this season at Paris Fashion Week: Drew Henry at Courrèges and Kai Nesselrath at Carven. In that respect, this season stands in stark contrast to the calendar for Spring Summer 2026, which included an unprecedented number of high-profile designer debuts: Jonathan Anderson’s first women’s ready-to-wear show at Dior, Miguel Castro Freitas’ debut at Mugler, Mark Thomas at Carven (more on that later), Jack and Laz at Loewe, Pierpaolo Piccioli at Balenciaga, Duran Lantink at Jean Paul Gaultier, and Matthieu Blazy at Chanel. Glenn Martens, who made his Maison Margiela couture debut the Summer before, also presented his first ready-to-wear collection for the house, while Michael Rider also showed what was technically his second collection for Celine, following his co-ed debut for resort. Quite the blockbuster week.

Fall 2026, on the other hand, was a more subdued affair with just one major debut: Antonin Tron at Balmain. That first collection was, honestly, a bit sleepy compared to the work of Tron’s predescessor, Olivier Rousteing, but there were glimmers of promise throughout, so it will be interesting to see what six more months of digging through the archives and getting to know the teams has produced.

Check out the full calendar below.

Day 1: Monday, September 28, 2026

It’s hard to believe this will be only the 4th runway show for Matières Fécales, which has become a favorite of celebrity stylists including Law Roach and Brad Goreski since their provocative and breathtaking Paris Fashion Week debut in March, 2025. Last season, designers Hannah Rose Dalton and Steven Raj Bhaskaran skewered the super rich and their monstrous body transformations in one of the most talked about shows (with some of the best stunt casting) of the season, so we can’t wait to see what they’ve got planned this time around.

Drew Henry will make his Courrege debut on day three, while Antonin Tron will show his second collection for Balmain.

Day 4: Thursday, October 1st

Kai Nesselrath, former head of women’s wear at Saint Laurent, will make his debut at Carven following the ouster of designer Mark Thomas after just one year. We are also especially excited to see what Chemena Kamali is cooking up at Chloé — last season was a triumph and as far as we’re concerned she has yet to misstep since taking the reigns from Gabriella Hearst in 2023. Balenciaga, Rick Owens, Schiaparelli, and Isabel Marant will round out the day.

Day 5: Friday, October 2, 2026

Day five is a bit of a mixed bag: there’s Loewe and Givenchy (both of which have been stellar since the arrival of their new designers: Jack and Laz, and Sarah Burton, respectively) then there’s Lanvin, where fashion industry veteran Peter Copping still has yet to make a splash.

Day 6: Saturday, October 3, 2026

Juya Watanabe, Comme des Garçons, and Celine are the big names on Day six of Paris Fashion Week.

Monday, October 5th

Matthieu Blazy’s second Spring ready-to-wear collection for Chanel is sure to be the focus of most of the day’s discourse, but after Sacai‘s spectacular menswear show back in June — that collaboration with Brooks Brothers was as wonderful as it was unexpected — we can’t wait to see what designer Chitose Abe has in store this season.
