Despite a global luxury slowdown, Paris Couture Week signals renewed confidence with 29 houses and two new entrants confirmed on the official calendar. Running from January 26 to 28, the season welcomes Celia Kritharioti and Phan Huy, marking Vietnam’s first presence on the couture schedule.
Anticipation centers on the couture debuts of Matthieu Blazy at Chanel and Jonathan Anderson at Dior, alongside Giorgio Armani Privé’s first collection since the founder’s passing.
With Schiaparelli opening and Germanier closing, the calendar reinforces Paris’s enduring creative authority and cultural leadership.
