Twice a Year, Paris Stops. The Fashion World Doesn't.

The Event

The Paris Haute Couture Week Autumn/Winter 2026–2027 returns from 6 to 9 July, confirming the Ville Lumière as the undisputed capital of creativity and luxury. Four days in which the great maisons unveil their most ambitious creations — pieces requiring hundreds of hours of artisanal work and representing the absolute pinnacle of sartorial excellence. The venues are as much a part of the spectacle as the collections themselves: from the Grand Palais to the Opéra Garnier, from the courtyards of the Louvre to the most exclusive and secretive locations that only Paris knows how to keep.

What to Expect in 2026

The July edition is among the most anticipated in years. Jonathan Anderson presents his second couture collection at Dior, following a debut that reshaped the expectations of critics and audiences alike; Matthieu Blazy continues his quiet, radical reinvention of Chanel, consolidating a vision that caught everyone off guard in January. And for the first time on the Parisian calendar, Indian couturier Manish Malhotra brings a new sartorial voice — marking a further geographic expansion of a system, haute couture, that has never stopped looking beyond its own boundaries. The week promises to be a moment of great creative ferment, with emerging houses and international guest members ready to deliver the most unexpected surprises of the season.

Mobility as Part of the Experience

Behind the shows, a city in full motion. Editors, buyers, celebrities, diplomatic delegations and VIP guests of the maisons arrive from every continent with packed schedules and transfers that leave no room for delays or improvisation. From Roissy-Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports to the hotels of Place Vendôme and the Faubourg Saint-Honoré, from the maisons to the show venues: every movement is part of the overall experience, and must match the context it belongs to. Balsamo coordinates mobility flows for major international events with a 360-degree premium service — advance planning, real-time monitoring, dedicated assistance — so that every arrival is as impeccable as the mise en scène of a fashion show.
