The Autumn/Winter 2026–27 season of Paris Haute Couture Week has officially kicked off with day one showing some of the most highly anticipated shows.

Schiaparelli

Daniel Roseberry opened the week of shows, unveiling Schiaparelli’s Autumn/Winter 2026–27 Haute Couture offering. Titled The Call of the Void, the collection presented a powerful exploration of uncertainty, experimentation and fearless creativity. It paid tribute to Elsa Schiaparelli’s Surrealist legacy while continuing to push couture into bold new territory.

Silicone, latex and sculpted paint were transformed into couture creations, with sculptural silhouettes and dreamlike details blurring the line between fashion and fantasy. Models appeared like mythical creatures, proving once again that Schiaparelli remains one of couture’s most imaginative houses.

Dior

Jonathan Anderson continued his fairytale at Dior, unveiling an Autumn/Winter 2026–27 Haute Couture collection that celebrated sculpture, craftsmanship and romance. Presented inside a lush, foliage-filled Musée Rodin, the collection drew inspiration from the work of American sculptor Lynda Benglis, whose fluid, organic forms were reimagined through couture.

Shimmering sheer gowns, cocooning wrap coats and sculptural pleats brought softness and movement to the runway, while the iconic Bar jacket was transformed with delicate fringe, ruffles and translucent layers. A collection that continues to shape a bold new vision for Dior, while honouring the house’s heritage.

Rahul Mishra

Rahul Mishra unveiled a breathtaking Autumn/Winter 2026–27 Haute Couture collection in Paris, celebrating the power of femininity through exceptional craftsmanship.

Titled Devi, the collection drew inspiration from the divine feminine, combining traditional artisanal techniques with contemporary silhouettes. Models appeared like hand-carved stone goddesses, while iridescent fabrics, intricate pearl bodices and flowing, sculptural forms transformed the runway into a showcase of wearable art.

Georges Hobeika

For Haute Couture FW26/27, Georges Hobeika transforms the everyday into the extraordinary. Inspired by James McCrae’s Instructions Before Visiting Earth, the collection is a poetic meditation on wonder where architectural silhouettes, luminous embroidery, delicate lace, fluid drapery, and nature’s smallest marvels converge.

A palette of ethereal blues and soft neutrals frames sculptural bustiers and exquisitely crafted jewels inspired by orchids, beetles, and snails, each reflecting the House’s exceptional savoir-faire, meticulously brought to life between Beirut and Paris.
