Paris Haute Couture Week 2026: Schiaparelli and the Opening Day

Paris Haute Couture Week Spring/Summer 2026 is unfolding from January 26 to 29, 2026, showcasing the pinnacle of artisanal fashion and bespoke craftsmanship. Today’s schedule began with Schiaparelli — the house known for its sculptural surrealism and theatrical couture.

The opening presentation set the tone for the week: sculpted silhouettes, bold experimentation with volume and texture, and a refined dialogue between avant‑garde concept and wearable expression. Couture enthusiasts from across the globe have once again gathered to witness the most exclusive expressions of contemporary high fashion. (fhcm.paris)
