What a whirlwind of a week! Following the news of Jonathan Anderson’s appointment as the creative director of Dior, which came swiftly after Maria Grazia Chiuri announced that she was stepping down, the fashion world has dropped another topic worthy of fevered discourse. That is none other than the Paris Couture Week calendar for Fall/Winter 2025, which runs from 7 to 10 July. 

The calendar, which was unveiled by the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode, France’s reigning authority on fashion, reveals all the fashion brands that will be presenting haute couture fashion shows in Paris—and the ones that are not. 

Bad news first. Obviously, we won’t be seeing Jonathan Anderson’s Dior haute couture debut just yet. The designer, who is now in charge of the maison’s women’s, men’s and haute couture collections, will first present his Dior Men Spring/Summer 2026 collection on 27 June. 

The house of Jean Paul Gaultier is also sitting out this Paris Couture Week; Duran Lantik, who was named as creative director of the French fashion house in April, will only showcase his first haute couture collection in January 2026.

Miss Sohee, the beloved London fashion label founded by Sohee Park, debuted at Paris Couture Week last season; however, it is not returning for the FW25 season. Neither is the namesake label of Indian designer Gaurav Gupta.

Now, onto the good news: Demna will be unveiling his final haute couture collection for Balenciaga before the French fashion house ushers in a new era under their new creative director, Pierpaolo Piccioli. And Y/Project fans can look forward to the debut of Glenn Martens at Maison Margiela, who will present his first Artisanal collection and hopefully wow us just as John Galliano did with his last Margiela spectacle

For the rest of Paris Couture Week, it’s business as usual. Daniel Roseberry’s Schiaparelli is the opener. Giorgio Armani will stage two Privé shows, but those without a Fashion Week invite can check out his haute couture creations at his ongoing exhibition in Milan. Iris Van Herpen, who is now only presenting one haute couture collection a year, is on the FW25 schedule as well, as is Robert Wun. And Chanel’s studio team will showcase its final haute couture collection before Matthieu Blazy’s takeover of the French house. 

Here’s a bonus: Michael Rider, Hedi Slimane’s successor at Celine, will show his first fashion show for the luxury brand on 6 July, a few days shy of Paris Couture Week. There is much to be excited about. 

Ahead, see all the dates for the standout fashion shows on the Paris Couture Week Fall/Winter 2025 calendar.
