PARIS FASHION WEEK RECAP S/S 26
PARIS FASHION WEEK RECAP S/S 26 View Recap On INSTAGRAM Paris Fashion Week S/S 2026 offered a season of clarity, designers embracing conviction over noise, and storytelling rooted in purpose. Standout moments came from Willy Chavarría, whose HURON collection was a defiant reflection on immigrant identity, complete with bold tailoring, vibrant color, and a powerful ACLU collaboration. Rick Owens delivered a visceral, water-soaked spectacle at Palais de Tokyo, previewing his Temple of Love retrospective with sculptural leather, exposed silhouettes, and subversive romance. Beyond the runway, spaces like the RHIZOME installation by Crosby Studios Gallery x Manyforms and showrooms from ON x PAF and Comme des Garçons showed that meaning and innovation remain central.

72 Hours in Paris
72 Hours in Paris View Recap On INSTAGRAM Moving through runways, showrooms, galleries, and storefronts, we traced the season as it unfolded. The rhythm was familiar—early call times, tightly packed schedules, the constant shift between fashion presentations and quiet moments of discovery. But beyond the itinerary, it was the unexpected details that stayed with us. Laila Gohar sugar cube sculptures—small, intricate, collectively architectural—made the fleeting feel permanent. Oyuna London cashmere-draped chairs, suspended mid-air, balanced surrealism with stillness. A square-toed shoe from Phoebe Philo, its sharp silhouette tucked away in a Dover Street Market alcove. Hardware from Simone Rocha catching the light just so, transforming an accessory into an artifact. A lunch break set against Ann Demeulemeester tableware by SERAX, where cake felt less like dessert and more like a moment of pause, a quiet contrast to the market’s relentless pace. Trends fade, but the feeling remains—shaped by what caught our eye, what made us stop, what stayed long after we left.

Paris Fashion Week Recap F/W 2025 View Recap On INSTAGRAM Paris Fashion Week F/W 2025 reaffirmed the industry’s shifting landscape—designers refining their identities, collections becoming more considered, and competition pushing brands toward higher standards. Strong showings from names like AURALEE, Studio Nicholson, and RIER reinforced this, resonating with both press and buyers. Unlike previous seasons, January’s audience was notably more industry-focused, signaling a recalibration of priorities Willy Chavarría’s 10th-anniversary show was the kind of moment that stays with you—raw, subversive, and deeply rooted in cultural identity. The energy in the room was different, the kind of enthusiasm rarely seen since the early days of Virgil Abloh’s influence.As the week wrapped, the key takeaways were clear—cultural and authentic storytelling is becoming more integral, competition is driving innovation, and Fall/Winter remains the industry’s strongest stage.

Fall 2023 Menswear: The Layers of Comfort
Why is it, more often than not, we find ourselves reminiscing over the past? Reflecting, referencing, reinterpreting what was? It’s got quite the hold on us. To be moving forward but always looking back. Instead of imagining what could be, what has yet to become, we dream in nostalgia. Our innocence, nativity and ignorance. When life once felt delicate, but yet exposed. I find this to be quite prevalent in this Fall/Winter 2023 Menswear season. There’s a sense of rediscovery, but yet we find ourselves back where we began. The place where familiarity and evolution meet. The undressed took center stage as they found comfort clutching sentimental objects. Styling has always been a key component to delivering the visual narrative of a designer's collection. This season, Jonathan Anderson allowed the garments to speak for themselves, with their accompanied accessories to fill in the blanks. One by one, models walked out with literally one item of clothing on to cover their body. Orange underwear covered with bunnies. A white oversized t-shirt and froggy slippers. A brown ruffle skirt with a pillow in hand. This presentation could easily be perceived as an unfinished or even a youthful approach to menswear. I believe JW Anderson’s most recent collections continue to share a story about our attachments: the many things we hold close to us. From infant to adult, we tend to associate ourselves, our memories and our development to a token object or symbol. (Which can also be seen in Martine Rose’s collection featuring a “drunk bunny”, illustrating the hope we had during the COVID lockdowns. And the blue and purple bunnies depicted in Nahmias’ collection, in remembrance of Doni Nahmias’ childhood.) As minimal and bare as the JW Anderson collection might be I think it highlights the direction fashion is headed: an exploration of the impact of our materialistic attachments and the transition towards vulnerability. Finding comfort in our exposure, with no place nor thing to hide behind. These two notes were also found in Lisi Herrebrugh and Rushemy Botter’s collection. Bicycle seats were repurposed into bags and miniature race cars danced across the necks and dazzled the fingers of the models. Some garments exposed the layers that hid underneath flaps and buttons, while others brought undergarments to the surface. Overtime we obtain these valuables. Which tend to have a unique story of their own, but they also carry our story, our secrets, and our past. These tangible objects, articles of clothing, can communicate a lot about who we are. And I think it’s quite interesting how we desire to keep them close, collected and displayed. But at the same time we feel the need to pull back. It’s as if we can’t decide if we want more or less. If we want to share more or less of ourselves, the things that we have, or the body that hides behind all that we carry. This theme of pulling back, shedding our layers, or more so, revealing our layers was beautifully presented by Namacheko. Dilan Lurr opened the show very heavy: overcoats with silver embellishments, a combination of knits: zipped, twisted and buttoned, detachable collared shirts, and pleated skirts. As the collection continued on, the models wore less and less clothing. Closing the show with a model dressed in a tightly fitted ombré turtleneck and legging set. Whether for play, comfort, or mobility, our relationship with clothing is getting quite vulnerable. Leaving us to be as we begin on this Earth, exposed. On a day to day basis, we tend to overlook just how quickly we’re evolving. I believe these bi-yearly presentations communicate what we value, how we view ourselves and where we’d like to be. Whether that’s in the past, present or the future. I think these designers and the fashion industry as a whole bring attention to who we really are at this moment in time. The garments just allow us to express our comfort in exposing all that we are. Text by Ciana Mai
