The Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode commences Paris Haute Couture Week today, running from January 27–30. For the momentous occasion, Spring/Summer 2025 collections will be seen throughout the city, beginning with Schiaparelli’s show at 10:00 a.m., featuring creative director Daniel Roseberry’s surrealistic designs. Following Schiaparelli, presentations from Imane Ayissi, Georges Hobeika, Christian Dior, Chanel, Elie Saab, and Miss Sohee will be seen, among others. Special anticipation is high for Valentino‘s couture debut under creative director Alessandro Michele, who famously departed from Gucci in November 2022, expected to bring his signature maximalist approach to the brand.
As the week unfolds, fashion enthusiasts eagerly await the innovative designs and artistic expressions that define this prestigious event. Below, Whitewall shares an inside look at what we’re excited to see from today’s top designers.
