Maison MargielaDior gave a modern twist to its classics 
Jonathan Anderson, the newly appointed creative director at Dior , unveiled his first women’s ready-to-wear collection. The show featured modern twists on Dior classics, including reimagined overcoats, trouser suits with flowing capes, short denim skirts and striking satin hats. Praised for its youthful energy and elegant ease, the collection earned a standing ovation, marking a fresh new chapter for the brand.
Mugler featured sculpted silhouettes and defiant edges
Miguel Castro Freitas debuted at Mugler with a fierce and precise collection featuring sculptural silhouettes, exaggerated shoulders, and sharp tailoring. Daring cut-outs and translucent tops gave the body-armour effect a bold, defiant edge, making the collection look provocative and powerful.
Classic Chanel reimagined through a modern, effortless lens
Appointed creative director for Chanel at the end of 2024, Matthieu Blazy, the former Bottega Veneta designer, delivered a collection that was a subtle yet striking update to Chanel’s iconic blouses and suits. The collection reimagined Chanel for the confident, contemporary woman – one who commands a room in sharply tailored suits, oversized shirts, and understated dresses that whisper sophistication. The result felt like a nod to Coco Chanel, the brand’s founder, who famously borrowed from the boys to redefine women’s wardrobes.
Bold colour & sculptural silhouettes defined Balenciaga ’s show
Creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli unveiled his first runway show for Balenciaga, presenting brightly coloured gowns and minimalist leather jackets. The collection dubbed ‘The Heartbeat’ also featured a long garment with no waist, long, gathered skirts worn with cropped tops, and even the sleeves, worn like capes.
A daring first collection that pushed boundaries
In one of the season’s most awaited moments, Duran Lantink unveiled his debut collection for Jean Paul Gaultier. It pushed the boundaries of fashion and form, featuring bold and unusual bodysuits with detailed male torso print, cut-up scuba-like suits, high-cut ’80s-style leotards (tight-fitting garment), and a striped dress shaped like an S. Apart from a few bomber jackets, hip-hugging pants, and a gold sequin coat, there were few traditional clothes, making it more artistic and experimental than wearable fashion.
Suits, poplin, and delicate fabrics at Carven’s collection
Mark Thomas, in his f irst runway collection as Carven’s creative director, presented a refined and sophisticated S/Summer 2026 line that builds on the modern, elegant aesthetic established by his predecessor, Louise Trotter. The collection blends effortless, wearable pieces like poplin sets, lightweight suits, and dresses, with subtle experiments in silhouettes and fabrics, including lace, silk, and cotton voile, creating a wardrobe that is versatile, polished, and distinctly Parisian.
Maison Margiela kept it bold with striking mouthpieces
Maison Margiela made a powerful display of its collection under its new creative director, Glenn Martens, who transformed the house’s signature four-stitch logo into a striking mouthpiece. Models walked with lips shaped into the iconic stitches, turning once-discreet label detail into a bold, sculptural statement, shifting attention from the wearer to the artistry itself.
Loewe featured playful details and wearable elegance
Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez made a confident debut, blending their New York pragmatism with the house’s Spanish craft heritage. Their collection focused on structure, material, and wearability, opening with sculpted leather pieces that celebrated form while maintaining ease. Playful yet polished touches – from two-tone tights to a 3D-printed towel dress – kept things light without losing sophistication. Bags struck a balance between utility and wit, featuring a glass clutch and a mussel-embellished bucket bag
Capes to statement footwear: What we can add to our wardrobe
