Paris Fashion Week, dedicated to Women's Ready-to-Wear Autumn/Winter 2025-2026, once again proved that the French capital remains the vibrant heart of the global fashion industry. Houses presented collections that celebrate luxury in new forms, blending the audacity of deconstruction with the opulence of timeless materials. It was a week where elegance was expressed through cut, texture, and a refined chromatic palette.


Noble Materials Take the Spotlight: Leather and Fur Sculpt the Silhouette


Next winter will be marked by rich, tactile fabrics. Leather, the true star of the collections, was used to sculpt long coats, structured trenches, and even tops. Brands like Hermès and Stella McCartney showcased numerous creations in plant-based or faux leather, underscoring a more conscious approach to luxury.

Fur, predominantly faux but omnipresent, asserted itself through bold touches or majestic volumes. It appeared as stoles at Chloé or adorned skirts and coats at Rabanne, adding a dimension of softness and maximal comfort to the silhouettes.


Yellow and Contrast: A Palette to Brighten the Winter


Amidst the usual neutral winter shades, yellow made a striking appearance, illuminating the runways from Givenchy to Alaïa. Whether chick, pastel, or butter yellow, this color brought a touch of bold optimism. Designers incorporated it into strong pieces such as tulle evening gowns and structured coats.

Another key trend was the deconstruction of garments. Young creators like Zomer and established Houses played with half-worn sweaters, coats worn inside-out, or unexpected cut-outs, suggesting an elegance that challenges convention while remaining perfectly controlled.


Allure and Structure: The Details That Define Luxury


Silhouettes were affirmed with details that left no room for hesitation:

  • The Return of the Legging: The once-casual accessory regained its fashionable standing, worn beneath imposing knitwear or with wide thigh-high boots, giving it a chic and contemporary look.

  • Dramatic Shoulders: Shoulders were emphasized and structured, lending graphic power to blazers and coats.

  • Lavallière Collars and Cocooning Knits: To balance the structure, touches of softness appeared with sophisticated lavallière collars and cozy jacquard knit sweaters, reinforcing the cocooning atmosphere of winter luxury.


Conclusion

The Autumn/Winter 2025-2026 Fashion Week was a dazzling testament to the vitality of Parisian creativity. The trends point to a season where luxury is expressed through rich materials and bold cuts, encouraging the expression of a strong, self-assured femininity. The elegance of tomorrow will be one of contrast, balancing snug comfort with sharp, graphic lines.
