Among them Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Dior, Saint Laurent, Balenciaga, Off-White, Stella McCartney, Miu Miu, Chloe, Givenchy, Valentino, Balmain, Vivienne Westwood and The Row. Post-COVID, there are a number of things that will impact the legendary fashion show. For example, there will be many more livestreams on offer and even, now that it is possible again, there will be shows that can only be followed via livestream. The full program can be viewed here.

This season a number of notable brands return to the catwalk and a number of debutants will make their appearance. It will be the first show by clothing brand Off-White without its founder Virgil Abloh, who passed away last November. The show will take place on Monday, Feb. 28, at 8 p.m. The Row, the label founded by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen in 2006, will show on March 2 at 11:30 a.m. local time. The label was last seen in Paris in 2016 during the spring/summer season at a chateau outside the city. Vtmnts, an offshoot of Vetements launched in 2021, will show for the first time with Guram Gvasalia as creative director. Balenciaga is returning to the more traditional fashion show concept. What audiences didn't know last year was that the red carpet performance of the spring 2022 collection was a prelude to a veritable movie premiere of The Simpsons/Balenciaga, in which Marge and Bart end up modeling in Paris.

Get inspired and meet the latest 2022/2023 autumn and winter collections here.
