With the confirmation of Jonathan Anderson’s appointment as the sole creative director of Dior menswear, ready-to-wear and haute couture collections, the announcements about designer comings and goings may have finally come to an end. Anderson’s first show is scheduled for Paris Fashion Week Men’s at the end of this month, with the balance of debuts coming later this year during the spring 2026 fashion week circuit. Sandwiched in between, of course, are the Autumn/Winter 2025 haute couture shows, happening from 7 July through 10 July.
Couture week will once more kick off with Daniel Roseberry’s latest for Schiaparelli, although the unofficial curtain-raiser will be Michael Rider with his debut collection for Celine, scheduled for the afternoon of 6 July. Missing on Monday is Christian Dior because Maria Grazia Chiuri’s swan song show for the house included a couture offering.
Bookending the second day of shows are Chanel, with its last studio collection in anticipation of Matthieu Blazy’s debut later this year, and Giorgio Armani with Armani Privé. It’s the third day of collections where all the news is: Demna will present his final show for Balenciaga at 12pm, a fitting farewell for the designer who saw the revival of the label’s couture line. And Glenn Martens will close out the day with his first show for Maison Margiela; it will mark the first time that the label has been on the runway since John Galliano’s January 2024 spectacular.
Haute Couture Week features 27 houses on its line-up. In addition to Rider’s Celine, Patou will also present its ready-to-wear on 6 July. We’re still awaiting news from Alaïa — Pieter Mulier showed his latest two collections during the ready-to-wear calendar, in New York last September and in Paris in February, and the house has yet to share whether the designer will keep at it a third time or return to couture. Stay tuned.
