Dior Autumn Winter 2026/2027
A SHOW IN THE GARDEN
My personal favourite, Northern Irish Fashion designer, Jonathan Anderson.
Anderson showcased his second Christian Dior takeover by giving us the Primavera feels. His collection made quite an articulate showcase, providing us with a myriad of florals and greens galore, as the models take a stroll through the “Jardin des Tuileries”.
Beg my pardon HAVE YOU SEEN THOSE FLOWER SHOES (absolute needdddd).... To be sitting pond side, front row must feel like an invitation sent by heaven itself. Countless knitwear pieces, embroidery and metallic elements. The feminine aspects through sharp tailoring and scalloped ruffles, with statement skirts and flowy dresses, just effortlessly romantic from beginning to end.
The master himself states polka dots are here to stay, so any purchases from now on are validated…
Anderson is conducting some sort of symbiosis, and I am totally here for it!
Dior Runway AW26 by Jonathan Anderson
HORSE GIRL HEAVEN
Sustainable Stella takes runway visuals to a whole new level, incorporating actual horses into her spectacular show. A barn-like set up with a herd of horses, complimented by the tame models and their recycled outwear.
McCartney has been a long standing confidant of environmentally conscious design. She presented various pieces incorporating recycled fabrics and plant based materials. Not only did she remind us to rewear and recycle, this show marked 25 years of the “Stella McCartney Brand”.
Side saddling is her father Paul McCartney, clapping her praises while sat front row.
Stella McCartney Paris FW26
Max Alexander Paris FW26
WHO IS MAX ALEXANDER?
Who is Max Alexander and where did he come from? Max is the youngest designer to present at Paris Fashion Week ever!!! Only 9 years old, Los Angeles born, Paris welcomes the Fashion prodigy.
90% of his 15 runway pieces were made from “dead stock and surplus”.
At such a young age he already understands the importance of sustainability. Would you believe a 9 year old made this?
LIKE BOHO NEVER LEFT…
The amazing Chemena Kamali gives us BOHO galore. Where can I sign up to be a Chloé Girl ASAP!
The realness of the Chloé woman turns a new chapter of poetic movements and timeless bohemian womenswear.
Kamali professes “theres no rules, the rules should be to be ourselves”. Personality and ever-changing timelines are the co-ordinance of this collection. Drawing upon folk and spirituality, Kamali’s collection arose from traditional Northern European garments and their devotion to craftsmanship. Chloé was born from a counter cultural mindset and pioneers handmade pieces, knits and embroidery. Even the jewellery was handpainted.
Someone play Fleetwood Mac….
With the sun beginning to show itself again, and a week of celebrating creativity and artistry, Paris Fashion Week draws the close of fashion month…until the cycle begins again next season.
Standout shows and many unmentioned, have brought the season to a thoughtful finish. New trends have emerged while familiar ones linger longer. Designers such as Jonathan Anderson and Stella McCartney are the topic of everyone’s conversations, alongside a wave of exciting young talent, the industry feels….
refreshed.
