festival-fair · 2026-06-29

Paris Fashion Week Men’s S/S 2027 (28 June 2026) unfolded amid a Europe-wide heatwave with temperatures reaching 40°C, forcing shows to early mornings and requiring paramedics on standby. Despite the heat, major houses presented collections: Michael Rider debuted his first menswear show for Celine at Tennis Club de Paris, closing the week; Jonathan Anderson for Dior at Musée Nissim de Camondo sampled and remixed classics, soundtracked by Fred Again; Pharrell Williams for Louis Vuitton merged surfer and dandy archetypes on a beach set with an 8m wave at Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris; Anthony Vaccarello for Saint Laurent used Fujiko Nakaya’s fog sculpture Cloud #07156 at Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection; Rick Owens integrated Adidas ClimaCool and built-in fans for personal air conditioning; Julian Klausner for Dries Van Noten offered diaphanous layers inspired by Mallarmé’s poem; Willy Chavarria at Espace Niemeyer focused on joy amid chaos; Nick Wakeman held Studio Nicholson’s first runway show in 16 years; Kiko Kostadinov marked 10 years with Y2K cyber-core references; Ryota Iwai for Auralee explored vacation expectation vs reality; IM Men celebrated bamboo; Junya Watanabe collaborated with 17 partners including DHL; and Wooyoungmi sought universality through light, colour, and individuality.
