The three-day fashion rendezvous may have been short (it took place from July 6-9), but it was jam-packed with fashion moments that will certainly define the Fall\/Winter 2026 season. From long-awaited debuts by creative directors like Duran Lantink for Jean Paul Gaultier and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thezoereport.com\/fashion\/balenciaga-couture-collection-2026\">Pierpaolo Piccioli at Balenciaga<\/a>, sophomore couture collections from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thezoereport.com\/fashion\/chanel-couture-fall-2026-runway-show\">Mathieu Blazy\u2019s Chanel<\/a> and Dior by Jonathan Anderson, to signature codes from Schiaparelli, reimagined \u2014 this haute couture week had it all. <\/p>\n<p>Across the board, there was a clear appetite for sculptural, oversized, and architectural shapes that went beyond traditional silhouettes. There was also a common thread of experimenting with materials that wouldn\u2019t usually be used in couture (cue Schiaparelli\u2019s poured silicone, sculpted clay, latex, and paint). And Schiaparelli\u2019s Daniel Roseberry was hardly the only creative director to challenge the mold when it came to texture this season.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, celebrities were also out in full force \u2014\u00a0both on and off the runway. Gigi Hadid and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thezoereport.com\/culture\/celebrity-front-row-schiaparelli-couture-fall-2026\">Karlie Kloss<\/a> went straight from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce\u2019s ultra-secretive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thezoereport.com\/culture\/celebrity-runway-looks-taylor-swift-wedding\">wedding<\/a> to the catwalk. Sabrina Carpenter also managed to catch a flight from NYC for a seat in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thezoereport.com\/culture\/celebrity-front-row-dior-couture-fall-2026\">front row at Dior<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Below, we\u2019ve rounded up everything worth knowing from Couture Week\u2019s Fall\/Winter 2026 shows. <\/p>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR\">\n<div class=\"DbX\">\n<div class=\"uES fEt\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"B1N\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"qmt pm7\">\n<div class=\"IWn\">\n<div class=\"ENZ\">\n<div class=\"pxF XJ- mvL s535723676\">.s535723676{padding-top:125%}@media(min-width:768px){.s535723676{padding-top:125%}}<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Every Paris Couture Week Fall &apos;26 Moment Karlie Kloss\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/7\/9\/d63457d6\/schiaparelli_hcfw2627_28.jpeg?w=400&amp;h=500&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"N4z nIy\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"EGE\">(+)<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"_-g wvJ\">Karlie Kloss walks the Schiaparelli Fall 2026 Couture Show. <cite class=\"AA0\">Courtesy of Schiaparelli<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<div class=\"IWn\">\n<div class=\"ENZ\">\n<div class=\"pxF XJ- mvL s535723676\">.s535723676{padding-top:125%}@media(min-width:768px){.s535723676{padding-top:125%}}<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Every Paris Couture Week Fall &apos;26 Moment Gigi Hadid\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/getty\/2026\/7\/9\/3637ff14\/paris-france-july-8.jpg?w=400&amp;h=500&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"N4z nIy\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"EGE\">(+)<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"_-g wvJ\">Gigi Hadid walks the runway during the Balenciaga Haute Couture Fall\/Winter 2026\/2027 show.<cite class=\"AA0\">Estrop\/Getty Images<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"yOD GLK\">\n<div class=\"ki0 kpP\">\n<div class=\"MNV\"><\/div>\n<p><label for=\"lightboxCheckbox-476765160\" class=\"QNb y8V St5\"><button aria-label=\"open lightbox\" class=\"kMc\"><\/button><\/label><\/div>\n<div class=\"C1C\">\n<div class=\"ZXG\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"LOc\"><\/div>\n<p><button class=\"ikQ Xfx\"><span class=\"Od1\">INFO<\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"olh\">1\/2<\/div>\n<div class=\"xCo\"><button class=\"ikQ VkL\"><\/button><button class=\"ikQ Olc\"><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Schiaparelli<\/h2>\n<p>Schiaparelli kicked off the week by throwing out the couture rulebook entirely. The collection, titled \u201cThe Abyss,\u201d was Daniel Roseberry\u2019s attempt at tackling the unknown. Not exactly with his signature couture technique, but with the materials that create it. \u201cFormulas are antithetical to the magic of creation, which can be found only in total surrender to the unknown,\u201d Roseberry wrote in the accompanying show notes.<\/p>\n<p>The 30-piece collection was defined by abstract silicone bustiers, colored latex, and backlit breastplates. Roseberry and his atelier even created some prosthetics, which were visible on the exposed stomachs of models wearing split cardigans, intentionally designed to show off the skin underneath.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSchiaparelli is a house where you can still ask questions,\u201d Roseberry explained in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DacfxWztQmS\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">video<\/a> on the brand\u2019s Instagram. The entire collection was quite boundary-pushing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR\">\n<div class=\"DbX\">\n<div class=\"uES fEt\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"B1N\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"qmt pm7\">\n<div class=\"IWn\">\n<div class=\"ENZ\">\n<div class=\"pxF XJ- mvL s535723676\">.s535723676{padding-top:125%}@media(min-width:768px){.s535723676{padding-top:125%}}<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Every Paris Couture Week Fall &apos;26 Moment\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/7\/9\/b418dc33\/schiaparelli_hcfw2627_21.jpg?w=400&amp;h=500&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"N4z nIy\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"EGE\">(+)<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"_-g wvJ\"><cite class=\"AA0\">Courtesy of Schiaparelli<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<div class=\"IWn\">\n<div class=\"ENZ\">\n<div class=\"pxF XJ- mvL s535723676\">.s535723676{padding-top:125%}@media(min-width:768px){.s535723676{padding-top:125%}}<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Every Paris Couture Week Fall &apos;26 Moment\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/7\/9\/00f81ad7\/schiaparelli_hcfw2627_22.jpg?w=400&amp;h=500&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"N4z nIy\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"EGE\">(+)<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"_-g wvJ\"><cite class=\"AA0\">Courtesy of Schiaparelli<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"yOD GLK\">\n<div class=\"ki0 kpP\">\n<div class=\"MNV\"><\/div>\n<p><label for=\"lightboxCheckbox-476792864\" class=\"QNb y8V St5\"><button aria-label=\"open lightbox\" class=\"kMc\"><\/button><\/label><\/div>\n<div class=\"C1C\">\n<div class=\"ZXG\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"LOc\"><\/div>\n<p><button class=\"ikQ Xfx\"><span class=\"Od1\">INFO<\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"olh\">1\/2<\/div>\n<div class=\"xCo\"><button class=\"ikQ VkL\"><\/button><button class=\"ikQ Olc\"><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thezoereport.com\/culture\/celebrity-front-row-schiaparelli-couture-fall-2026\">VIP arrivals<\/a> outside the show brought just as much drama as the collection itself.
