For nine extraordinary days this fall (September 28 – October 6, 2026), Paris becomes the center of the fashion world.
Designers, editors, buyers, photographers, celebrities, models, and fashion lovers from around the globe descend on the French capital for Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2027—and even if you don’t have an invitation to the runway shows, there’s no better time to experience the energy, creativity, and unmistakable style of Paris.
From September 28 through October 6, the city itself becomes part of the show.
You Don’t Need a Runway Invitation to Enjoy Fashion Week
The official shows may be primarily reserved for fashion professionals and invited guests, but Fashion Week spills far beyond the runway.
Step outside in Le Marais, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the Golden Triangle, or around the Palais-Royal and you’ll quickly see why. Fashion is everywhere—from extraordinary street style and photographers outside the shows to pop-ups, exhibitions, showroom events, cocktail parties, and some of the best people-watching of the year.
And, of course, there’s shopping.
Explore the boutiques of Rue Saint-Honoré and Avenue Montaigne, discover emerging designers in Le Marais, browse the legendary Paris department stores, or hunt for vintage treasures and pieces you simply won’t find back home.
During Fashion Week, Paris doesn’t just talk about fashion. Paris lives it.
The Biggest Names in Fashion Come to Paris
The Spring/Summer 2027 calendar brings together many of the houses that make Paris the undisputed capital of fashion, alongside international designers and a new generation of emerging talent.
Dior, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga and other major houses are part of this season’s calendar, while Fashion Week also provides a stage for designers and brands shaping what we’ll all be wearing next.
But some of the most interesting fashion moments happen between the shows—on sidewalks, café terraces, hotel lobbies and neighborhood streets.
Keep your eyes open. In Paris during Fashion Week, inspiration can appear anywhere.
Fashion Week Meets One of the Best Times of Year in Paris
There’s another excellent reason to come: late September and early October are simply beautiful in Paris.
The intensity of summer has passed, but days can still be pleasantly mild. Café terraces remain lively, the gardens begin taking on their first autumn colors, and Paris returns to its sophisticated post-summer rhythm.
Walk through the Tuileries in the morning, have lunch in Saint-Germain, shop in Le Marais in the afternoon, and dress up for dinner at night.
Fashion Week provides the excitement. Paris provides everything else.
Stay Where Paris Fashion Happens
During a busy week, location matters.
A centrally located apartment gives you the freedom to come and go throughout the day—whether you’re attending professional events, shopping, meeting friends, or simply soaking up the atmosphere.
Stay near Saint-Germain-des-Prés for timeless Left Bank elegance and designer boutiques. Choose Le Marais for independent fashion, galleries, cafés, and some of Fashion Week’s best street style. Stay near the Louvre, Palais-Royal, or Rue Saint-Honoré for easy access to the heart of luxury Paris.
Or make the elegant 7th and 8th arrondissements your base for proximity to Avenue Montaigne, the Champs-Élysées, and Paris’s famous Golden Triangle.
Why an Apartment During Fashion Week?
Fashion Week days can be exhilarating—and long.
Having your own Paris apartment gives you something particularly valuable: space and privacy in the middle of one of the busiest weeks of the year.
Start the morning with coffee and croissants at home. Come back between appointments to change or recharge. Meet colleagues or friends in your living room before dinner. And at the end of the evening, return to a real Paris home rather than another hotel room.
For colleagues, friends, or families traveling together, a multi-bedroom apartment can also provide generous communal space while allowing everyone the privacy of their own bedroom.
And if Fashion Week happens to coincide with warmer autumn weather, many of our properties offer air conditioning, balconies, terraces, or private gardens.
Stay a Few Extra Days
Our advice? Don’t make Fashion Week your entire Paris trip.
Arrive before the crowds descend or stay for a few days after the final runway show.
Visit an exhibition you didn’t have time to see. Spend an afternoon at the Louvre. Wander through the Luxembourg Gardens. Browse a neighborhood market. Take a long lunch. Discover a new restaurant.
Fashion Week may bring you to Paris—but give yourself enough time to enjoy the Paris that exists beyond the runway.
