Introduction to Haute Couture Week
The confirmation of Jonathan Anderson’s appointment as the sole creative director of Dior Menswear, Ready-to-Wear, and Haute Couture collections marks the end of recent announcements. Anderson’s first show is planned for Paris Fashion Week at the end of this month, with the balance of the debuts later this year during the Fashion Week Circuit in spring 2026.
Upcoming Haute Couture Shows
The haute couture shows for autumn/winter 2025 will take place from July 7th to July 10th. The Couture Week will start with Daniel Roseberry’s latest collection for Schiaparelli, although the unofficial curtain raiser will be Michael Rider’s debut collection for Celine on the afternoon of July 6th. Christian Dior is missing on Monday because Maria Grazia Chiuri’s Swan Song Show contained a couture offer for the house.
Schedule of Shows
The second day of shows features Chanel with their last studio collection in anticipation of Matthieu Blazy’s debut later this year, and Giorgio Armani with Armani Privé. The third day of collections is where all the news is: Demna will present his last show for Balenciaga at 12 noon, a suitable farewell for the designer who saw the revival of the couture line of the label. Glenn Martens will complete the day with his first show for Maison Margiela, marking the first time the label has been on the runway since John Galliano’s spectacular January 2024 show.
Participating Houses
The haute couture week boasts 27 houses on the lineup. In addition to Rider’s Celine, Patou will present his Ready-to-Wear company on July 6th. There is still news pending from Alaïa, with Pieter Mulier having shown his latest collections in September and February, and the house still to announce whether the designer will continue for a third time or return to the couture calendar.
