Paris Fashion Week 2026-27: Dates and How to Join In Without an Invite
Next Paris Fashion Week: the autumn-winter 2027-2028 collections are scheduled for 1 to 9 March 2027 according to the FHCM calendar (to be confirmed on fhcm.paris); the spring-summer edition of September-October 2026 is over. The shows are by invitation, but street style around the venues is free. Twice a year — in February-March for the fall-winter collections and in September-October for spring-summer — Paris becomes the world capital of fashion for a week with Paris Fashion Week. The official runway shows, held in iconic venues such as the Grand Palais Éphémère or the Tuileries Garden, remain reserved for industry professionals and invited guests, but the week's energy can be felt well beyond the show venues. Street style — the elaborate outfits photographed by fashion enthusiasts outside the show venues — has become a spectacle in its own right, as have the special window displays and temporary installations set up by fashion houses in the neighborhoods involved.

Outside the show venues, the looks worn by models and guests are photographed by fashion enthusiasts, a free spectacle open to any passerby.
Street style, a spectacle in its own right
Fashion professionals and guests compete in style out in the street between shows, a trend that's become as closely watched as the runways themselves.
Tips
- Without an invitation, it isn't possible to attend the shows themselves, but standing near the venues listed in the official schedule, published in advance by the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode, lets you watch guests arrive and take in the street style. To see great looks outside the shows, our guide to street style in Paris lists the neighbourhoods and the rules on photographing people.
- Some fashion houses set up temporary installations or window displays open to the public in their boutiques alongside the shows; checking major houses' social media during Fashion Week helps you spot these opportunities.
- For the exact dates of each season, check the official FHCM calendar (fhcm.paris): it changes from one edition to the next, and a third-party site may be off by a day.
