Paris Fashion Week to Host Historic Roster of Debuts
From September 29 to October 7, Paris will host a surge of creative director debuts centering on the Spring 2026 women's RTW season. Released on Thursday by the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode, theParis Fashion Weekcalendar will include 76 runway shows and 36 presentations, but all eyes will be on the luxury establishment, which has seen a historic year of creative overhauls and challenges. Leading the charge with perhaps the most highly anticipated debuts isChanel, whereMatthieu Blazywill present his first-ever line at 8 p.m., October 6, at the Grand Anderson, among fashion's busiest visionaries today, will follow up on hisDiormen's debut with his first Dior women's collection on October 1 at 2:30 p.m. With big (chunky) shoes to fill followingDemna's departure,Pierpaolo Piccioli'sBalenciagadebut is another key event taking place on October 4 at 8 p.m. On October 2 at noon,Miguel Castro Freitaswill debut as creative director ofMugler, and the next day at 11:30 a.m.,Proenza SchoulervetsJack McColloughandLazaro Hernandezare set to debut their firstLoewecollection. Glenn Martens, who presented his lauded couture debut forMaison Margielain July, will shift gears to show his first RTW collection for the avant-garde label on October 4 at noon. BringingJean Paul Gaultierback to the ready-to-wear schedule after more than a decade,Duran Lantinkwill show his first JPG collection on October 5 at 4:30 p.m. The question remains whether the wave of creative turnarounds will rescue the luxury sector from the hurricane of dwindling sales, labor scandals, data breaches, and tariff legislations that have taken a toll on the industry. While 'the luxury slowdown'has become a common label for the current era's woes, conscious brand evolution and aesthetic novelty could jump-start recovery.

Matthieu Blazy's Chanel Métiers d'Art Debut Is Headed For NYC
On December 2,Matthieu Blazywill follow up on hisChanelReady-to-Wear debut in October, staging his first Métiers d'Arts collection in New York City. Showcasing the artistry of the French house's various Paris ateliers and specialty workshops, the forthcoming Métiers d'Arts show pays homage toKarl Lagerfeld's final show in 2018, which also took place in the Big Apple. The presentation will mark the first time Chanel has returned to the city since the legendary creative director's passing. President of Chanel SAS, Bruno Pavlovsky, said toWWD, 'It was Karl's last show, so we always get a little nostalgic when we talk about it in-house. But going back to New York with Matthieu and the beginning of a new season is super exciting.' Taking the place of Virginie Viard, '[Blazy] will make the creative energy of the city he knows so well resonate with the exceptional savoir-faire of the house,' he continued. Blazy is no stranger to New York, having worked in the city underRaf SimonsatCalvin Kleinfor years. A newly released visual teasing the collection juxtaposes a bold double C logo over a vintage subway map, hinting at what could be both a tribute to New York City's vibrant culture and Karl Lagerfeld's creative legacy at the house. As of the time of writing, an official date for the runway presentation has not been shared by Chanel. Stay tuned to Hypebeast for the latest fashion industry insights.
