Paris Fashion Week enters day two with official livestreams
The final calendar confirms shows, presentations and livestreams through October 6—while collection judgments still require published evidence.
From opening day to a fuller schedule
Paris Fashion Week’s spring and summer 2027 womenswear season is now underway. The Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode lists the event from September 28 through October 6. Opening day combined shows and presentations from Julie Kegels, Fidan Novruzova, KIMHĒKIM, Weinsanto, Vautrait, MAXHOSA AFRICA, Hodakova and Matières Fécales. The calendar marks films from those events as material to be revealed later.
September 29 expands the program. The official list begins with Ester Manas at 10 a.m. and includes a daylong Alexandra Golovanoff presentation and a Ganni presentation with digital material. Marie Adam-Leenaerdt is scheduled at 11:30 a.m., Mame Kurogouchi at 1 p.m. and Christian Dior at 2:30 p.m. Later entries include Burc Akyol, Maison Margiela, Anrealage and Saint Laurent. Times are Paris local time and remain subject to the organizer’s calendar.
Access is not the same for every event
The federation makes an important distinction between a show’s physical invitation and its public-facing material. Christian Dior is listed with a 2:30 p.m. livestream, Maison Margiela with a 5:30 p.m. livestream and Saint Laurent with a 9 p.m. livestream. Other events are marked for a film revealed later or for a digital presentation. A reader should not assume that every calendar entry can be watched live.
That separation also protects the accuracy of coverage. A scheduled show confirms that an event is planned; it does not establish the collection’s colors, fabrics, silhouettes or reception. Those details should come from an official stream, collection film, designer release or other reliable published material. Runway Fashion does not claim attendance at these events and will not describe unseen clothes.
What can be analyzed now
The calendar already shows how contemporary fashion week is distributed across formats. A conventional runway show may have a simultaneous livestream, while a presentation can run for several hours and publish digital material on a different timetable. That affects how a collection reaches buyers, press and a wider audience, but it does not make one format inherently more important than another.
The week’s length also argues for patience. A strong look from the first two days may be memorable, yet a season-wide trend requires repetition across independent collections. Our Hot / Not edit has therefore been reviewed but not rewritten on the basis of the calendar alone. We will look for recurring design decisions—proportion, color, fabric treatment and styling—after official collection material is available.
What comes next
September 30 includes Courrèges, The Row, Balmain, Dries Van Noten, Stella McCartney, Vaquera, Acne Studios and Tom Ford among its scheduled shows and presentations. The federation also says its SPHERE showroom at the Palais de Tokyo runs September 30 through October 6, with a digital version available by invitation. Later days continue with established houses and independent designers through the closing schedule on October 6.
For readers, the most useful approach is selective: use the official calendar to identify the streams or films you can access, then compare complete collections rather than isolated social images. We will update individual collection analysis only when the source material supports specific visual observations. AI concept imagery on this site remains clearly labeled and separate from coverage of actual Paris collections.
