[Video] Nine Days and 68 Shows: Paris Fashion Week Spring Summer 2027 Closes With Saint Laurent Gold, Chanel's Birds and a Louis Vuitton Louvre Finale
Paris Fashion Week's Spring Summer 2027 womenswear season ran from September 28 to October 6. The official calendar published by the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode (FHCM) listed 68 runway shows and 33 presentations from around 100 houses, closing on the evening of October 6 with Louis Vuitton at the Cour Carrée of the Louvre.
The heavyweight opening came on September 29, with three major houses in one day. At the Tuileries, Dior's Jonathan Anderson presented his third womenswear collection, loosening the house's classic New Look silhouette; that night, at the Trocadéro, Saint Laurent's Anthony Vaccarello marked ten years at the house with an all-gold collection beneath the Eiffel Tower. Maison Margiela, which showed in Shanghai last season, also returned to the Paris schedule.
The season's only two big-house debuts followed: Drew Henry's first Courrèges collection on September 30 and Kai Nesselrath's first Carven on October 1. The rest of the week was dense with major names — Hermès, Givenchy, Valentino and Lanvin among them — while Miu Miu moved to a Sunday afternoon slot, Acne Studios marked its 30th anniversary, and John Galliano's collaboration with Zara was unveiled. A year after a Paris season defined by eight blockbuster creative-director debuts, this edition was widely read as a consolidation season, with the new guard into their second and third collections.
The climax came on October 5, when Chanel's Matthieu Blazy celebrated his first anniversary at the Grand Palais beneath nearly a hundred illuminated birds, with Chinese faces including house ambassador Wang Yibo in the front row (see GSM's Chanel report). On October 6, Louis Vuitton's Nicolas Ghesquière closed the week with a collection titled "Ergonomie," its finale of featherweight coats staged beneath dozens of wedge-shaped flying installations suspended over the Cour Carrée — the last word of a fashion month that had already passed through New York, London and Milan.
