This fashion week was filled with lots of anticipated moments. From Matthieu Blazy’s takeover at Chanel to Pieter Mulier’s farewell at Alaïa, there was plenty to discuss.
Anthony Vaccarello led Saint Laurent’s Fall-Winter show, marking 60 years of Le Smoking tuxedo suite. The collection honored modern Parisian nights. Models walked a runway inspired by the city’s nightlife. Dramatic eye makeup and sleek hair gave each look a sophisticated, nighttime feel. Vaccarello mixed minimalist design with 1980s daywear influences, bringing a refreshed look to the classic Le Smoking. The collection brought back precise details that made Yves Saint Laurent’s work famous.

Dior’s Fall-Winter 2026, presented in the Jardin des Tuileries, felt casual and everyday. The Bar jacket appeared in updated proportions, including softened peplums and looser tailoring, often paired with miniskirts or relaxed trousers. Anderson also introduced denim and more casual fabrications into the lineup, creating a deliberate contrast between couture, heritage and everyday dressing.

If Coco Chanel designed with the everyday woman in mind, here she clearly served as Matthieu Blazy’s muse. The Belgian-French designer, presenting his sophomore collection, reinforced his vision with a collection that emphasized wearability and reinterpretations of Chanel’s established codes. The show opened with simple black skirt suits and built into more elaborate, iridescent pieces. As it progressed, it was clear that Blazy’s focus was on modernizing pieces we’re all familiar with. For example, tweed suits appeared deconstructed and lived-in, camellias were enlarged and reworked, and Mademoiselle Chanel’s famous dropped waist dresses appeared in several iterations.

For Pieter Mulier’s last Alaïa collection as creative director, he focused on strength and vulnerability. Skintight, form-fitting dresses turned the body into armor, while outerwear, such as structured jackets and dramatic fringes, served as shields. Mulier’s final show for Alaïa was a thoughtful homage to the brand’s heritage and community, taking a reflective approach rather than delivering a dramatic farewell.
