The Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode has released the provisional women's ready-to-wear calendar for Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2027, running September 28 through October 6. The nine-day lineup counts 68 shows and 33 presentations, a slightly smaller footprint than SS26's 74 shows and 37 presentations, but still built around the same roster of houses that anchor the calendar every season.

## Familiar bookends, one notable absence

Louis Vuitton closes the week, a slot the house has held frequently over the past decade, while the opening goes to Julie Kegels, an emerging Belgian label already favored by Dua Lipa and Charli XCX. Chanel, CELINE, Balenciaga, Miu Miu and Loewe all return as expected, alongside Schiaparelli, Vivienne Westwood and ALAÏA, though ALAÏA's show marks a real shift: the collection will come from the house studio rather than a single creative director, after Pieter Mulier left earlier this year to become Versace's chief creative officer with no successor yet named.

## New names, new chairs

Elie Saab, long a global ambassador for Middle Eastern luxury on the Paris calendar, shows October 3, while Maxhosa Africa joins for the first time, bringing South African designer Laduma Ngxokolo's label, previously worn by Beyoncé and Michelle Obama, to the schedule. Two houses also debut new leadership: Courrèges' new artistic director Drew Henry arrives from a senior design role at Burberry, and Carven's new design director Kai Nesselrath spent a decade at Saint Laurent, most recently as head designer there.
