Paris Fashion Week SS26
With Spring/Summer 2026 now behind us, Paris closed fashion month with flair, and beauty. This was a season defined by transformation, as the city welcomed a wave of new creative directors who set bold new visions in motion. From Matthieu Blazy’s debut at Chanel and Jonathan Anderson’s first women’s collection at Dior, to Jack McCollough & Lazaro Hernandez stepping into Loewe, Mark Thomas reimagining Carven, and Miguel Castro Freitas redefining Mugler, Paris proved itself once again as fashion’s centre of reinvention.
Premier Debuts
Our models brought these stories to life with presence, poise, and power. Maryamo's Exclusive Debut and Bhavitha Mandava's Worldwide Exclusive for Chanel channelled modernity & freshness whilst Kaat Van Herbrugge’s Worldwide debut for Dior offered us smart elegance with a touch of mystery and theatre, and Dahli Barink's Worldwide Exclusive for Celine brought power and sharp style. Premier Models became accustomed to the hustle and bustle of fashion month, queueing in lines for castings, meeting creative teams, embodying stories of several creative directors and delivering gorgeous walks, making history and paving the path for new perspectives.
Runway
This was a season of creative change — and our models stood at the heart of it, shaping narratives, embodying new visions, and carrying fashion forward into its next chapter.
We saw some fresh faces storming the runway for their first season, walking for top fashion houses and delivering impeccable concepts & beautiful designs. Sadie Pickup walked Loewe, Sophia Makibdji and Farida Dimadjibaye for Chanel, Hanna Leszek for Mugler, Stella McCartney and Chloé, Sydney Stabreit for Isabel Marant, and Iasmis Reis for Alaïa, Isabel Marant and Coperni.
Additionally, Luna Bijl was bracing the runway for her 10th year of modelling. Consistently making an impression on the fashion industry, we witnessed her walk both Acne Studios and Victoria Beckham.
Introducing Paris Fashion Week was Saint Laurent — cinematic classicism infused with bold assertiveness. On its runway, Wali, Libby Taverner, Anasofia Negrutsa, Ella Rattigan, and Penelope Ternes embodied the Saint Laurent woman: stoic, versatile, and powerful.
At Schiaparelli, ready-to-wear was elevated into pure spectacle, carried by Premier’s Penelope Ternes, Ida Heiner, Luiza Perote, Anasofia Negrutsa, and Wali. Loewe, colourful & playful whilst structural and smart was effortlessly walked by Sadie Pickup, our newly signed, Sun Yidan, and Penelope Ternes, Hejia Li, Libby Taverner and Canlan Wang. Hodakova delivered complex, repurposed beauty, reflected through the effortless strength of Signe, Emma Chambers, and Ginte Kazlauskaite. Miu Miu showcased femininity morphed with realism through workwear and heavy-duty boots, carried by Yura Romaniuk & Jiahui Zhang.
Elsewhere, Paris brought richness and range: Courrèges, Acne Studios, and Mugler pushed futuristic intrigue with textural innovation; Isabel Marant and Balmain channelled desert chic with crochet, layering, and monochromatic accessories; while Dries Van Noten and Rabanne lit up the season with zingy colour, joyful pattern, and fearless vibrancy.
Finally, closing Paris Fashion Week, 13 Premier Girls delivered Chanel with confidence, chic and that Chanel luxury.
