Paris is hosting its Fashion Week from September 23 to October 1, showcasing women's ready-to-wear for spring-summer 2025.
After the Olympic and Paralympic Games, Paris pulses with the rhythm of Fashion Week, dedicated to women's ready-to-wear for spring-summer 2025. A true showcase of French fashion, this event will highlight the new generation of local designers, featuring nearly a hundred brands. More than sixty runway shows and around forty presentations will mark this eagerly anticipated event, following in the grand tradition of the New York, London, and Milan fashion weeks.

The opening is led by 29-year-old Alsatian designer Victor Weinsanto, dubbed the "Jacquemus of the East," who will present his collection on the roof of the Pompidou Center. Among the stars of the young guard are talents like Mossi, Atlein, and Coperni, with creations worn by celebrities.
The cosmetics giant L'Oréal will sponsor the launch festivities with a public (by registration) fashion show at the Place de l'Opéra in the heart of Paris, featuring ambassadors from the brand, including Jane Fonda, Kendall Jenner, and Eva Longoria.
“The idea is to make accessible and democratize everything the public never sees during Fashion Week: the most beautiful venues, the finest outfits, and the best beauty looks,” said Delphine Viguier, general manager of L'Oréal Paris, to AFP.
Festivities and Turbulence
The major French luxury houses—Dior, Saint Laurent, Balenciaga, Louis Vuitton—will showcase their collections over ten days, concluding on October 1st. This season is marked by upheavals within the houses, with declining results for LVMH and Kering and persistent rumors of potential designer movements: Hedi Slimane or Jacquemus at Chanel, John Galliano leaving Maison Margiela.
Nonetheless, after four years of absence due to renovations at the Grand Palais, Chanel is making a grand return without a creative director, with Virginie Viard's succession still uncertain. Valentino will present the work of Alessandro Michele, the former designer at Gucci, for the first time. Meanwhile, the Olsen sisters will continue their The Row show in Paris, supported by investments from Chanel and L'Oréal.
Celebration and Renunciations
The most anticipated event is Coperni's, whose success soared after singer Angèle wore one of their outfits at the Olympic closing ceremony. The brand will take over Disneyland Paris for an outdoor show and an after-party that promises to be unforgettable.
“From films to characters, rides to hotels, Disneyland Paris is synonymous with entertainment and emotion. We are working closely with Disney teams to create a magical moment to share with all of you,” said Arnaud Vaillant and Sébastien Meyer, co-founders of the French brand, on Instagram.
Among the absentees, Victoria/Tomas is leaving the calendar after eight years due to its bankruptcy in June. Avellano, a 2023 Pierre Bergé award winner from Andam, is also missing, as is Y/Project, whose designer Glenn Martens is now exclusively focused on Diesel. Givenchy, in transition, awaits the arrival of Sarah Burton, formerly of Alexander McQueen, to take the helm of the house.
