All The Highlights of Paris Men's Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2026
With powerhouse returns, headline-making debuts, and a schedule packed with 70 brands, Paris Men’s Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2026 is poised to be a landmark event in the menswear world.
Paris Men’s Fashion Week is back, and this year’s Spring/Summer 2026 edition is shaping up to be one of the strongest in recent memory. Scheduled from June 24 to 29—immediately following Milan Fashion Week (June 20–24)—the spotlight has firmly shifted to Paris. With major brands like Gucci, Fendi, and Zegna absent from Milan’s lineup, the fashion world is turning its full attention to the French capital.
A total of 70 brands are on the official calendar this season, marking a robust return for global menswear. To help you stay ahead of the curve, L'OFFICIEL has rounded up the four biggest highlights from Paris Men’s Fashion Week SS26.
1. Major Designers Make a Triumphant Return
Several high-profile designers are making their way back to Paris this season, reigniting excitement for the official schedule. Most notably, Anthony Vaccarello brings Saint Laurent back to the Paris runway after several seasons away. Following the buzz around his headline-making men’s over-the-knee leather boots, expectations are high for what he’ll unveil next.
Also returning is Grace Wales Bonner, whose visionary approach and recent acclaim at the 2025 Met Gala have made her one of fashion’s most talked-about talents. Alongside her, Craig Green and Bode will both rejoin the Paris calendar, adding depth and international flair to an already stacked schedule.
2. Louis Vuitton Commands Opening Day
Paris Men’s Fashion Week opens with the traditional showcase by graduating students from the Institut Français de la Mode. But the real center of gravity on Day One is, as always, Louis Vuitton. Continuing its run as the opening-day anchor, LV sets the tone for the entire week—this time with even more anticipation, as Pharrell Williams continues to redefine the brand’s menswear DNA with bold colour, cultural references, and star power.
3. Highly Anticipated Debuts from New Creative Directors
This season marks a pivotal moment for two legendary houses, each debuting a new creative director on the menswear stage.
First up is Jonathan Anderson, former creative head of Loewe and founder of JW Anderson, who will present his first-ever collection for Dior Men. With his reputation for merging craft, intellectual design, and cultural references, Anderson’s Dior debut is already being hailed as one of the most talked-about events of the season. Meanwhile, Julian Klausner steps into the spotlight with his first runway collection for Dries Van Noten. This show marks a new chapter for the Belgian house and Klausner’s first major test as he takes over creative reins.
4. Jacquemus Brings It All to a Close
Wrapping up the week with his signature flair is Simon Porte Jacquemus. After five years of staging his menswear collections outside the official calendar, Jacquemus returns to Paris in the most Jacquemus way possible: with a cinematic finale show.
While the brand has kept details under wraps, expectations are sky-high after his dramatic and intimate January presentation. Known for turning fashion shows into immersive storytelling experiences, Jacquemus is expected to close the week on a poetic, visually stunning note that blends minimalism with emotional resonance.
