— With several major names back on the schedule and a high-stakes debut, the June menswear week in Paris promises to be an action-packed affair, according to the provisional calendar released Friday by the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode.
Between June 24 and 29, 70 brands will unveil their spring 2026 menswear collections, with 40 runway shows and 30 presentations. After last year’s Olympic-influenced timing, there will be the traditional one-week gap before couture showcases begin on July 7.
Broadly sticking to its usual configuration, the calendar will be bookended with the bachelor of arts showcase of the Institut Français de la Mode at 2:30 p.m. on the Tuesday and Jacquemus’ 5 p.m. coed show on the Sunday.
Cornerstones of the week, which include Louis Vuitton, Dior, Junya Watanabe, Comme des Garçons and Yohji Yamamoto, take up their usual slots.
On June 24, Saint Laurent’s menswear line will return to the official calendar at 5 p.m. after several itinerant and off-calendar shows since January 2023.
Another name back on the runway lineup is Dries Van Noten, for the menswear offering of creative director Julian Klausner at 12:30 p.m. on June 26.
On June 27, all eyes will be on Dior where Jonathan Anderson will be making his debut as creative director of menswear at 2:30 p.m. His appointment was revealed in April by Bernard Arnault, chairman and chief executive officer of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, during the French group’s annual shareholder meeting.
The day will also see the sophomore Paris show of Willy Chavarria, following his star-studded January arrival marking his label’s 10th anniversary.
After three seasons on the presentation calendar, Kartik Research is graduating to the runway schedule, taking the 2 p.m. spot on June 29.
Runway returnees of the season include Craig Green, Études Studio and Wales Bonner, while Sacai will swap its habitual fashion show for a presentation on June 26.
Sitting out the season are Paul Smith, who is showing earlier in the month at Milan Fashion Week; Lanvin, which is heading back to the women’s schedule for Peter Copping’s sophomore coed offering, and 032c.
Another notable absentee is Loewe, where new creative directors Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez’s first designs will be unveiled in October.
On the presentation side, newcomers of the season will be CamperLab, which will showcase the growing ready-to-wear line under creative director Achilles Ion Gabriel; Dutch designer Camiel Fortgens, who launched his eponymous Amsterdam-based label in 2014, and Brazilian brand P.Andrade, cofounded by Pedro Andrade and Paula Kim. The former is slated for June 26, while the latter two are both on June 29.
Returning this season is Marine Serre, with a June 27 showcase for her standalone men’s collection. Also back are Bode, Bed J.W. Ford and Namesake.
Couture’s fall 2025 schedule is expected to be revealed in early June.
