Off-White is officially set to make its return to the Paris Fashion Week schedule on March 5, 2026. The announcement comes from the provisional calendar for the Autumn/Winter 2026 womenswear season, released on Friday by the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode (FHCM). The brand’s comeback marks one of the most notable moments of the upcoming season.

Paris Fashion Week AW26: Dates and Overview

Paris Fashion Week will run from March 2 to March 10, 2026, featuring a total of 68 runway shows and 31 presentations. As in previous seasons, the event will open with the Master of Arts graduates from the Institut Français de la Mode (IFM), who will present their collections on March 2 at 2:30pm CET.

Established Houses and Emerging Talent

The season’s line-up blends luxury heavyweights with emerging voices. Global fashion houses such as Louis Vuitton, Dior, Chanel and Schiaparelli are confirmed on the schedule, alongside rising designers including Weinsanto, Pressiat and Hodakova, continuing Paris’ role as a platform for both heritage and innovation.

New Additions to the Schedule

Several brands will be joining the official Paris Fashion Week programme for the first time. Ukrainian label Litkovska and Georgian brand Situationist are set to debut on the runway, while Co (United States), Eenk (South Korea) and Time (South Korea) will appear in the presentations calendar.

Off-White’s Paris Comeback

After appearing on the Paris schedule in March 2025 and showing in New York during September 2025 Fashion Week, Off-White is returning to the French capital. The brand’s AW26 show is scheduled for Thursday, March 5 at 11:30am CET, positioning it as one of the key moments of the week.

Major Creative Transitions to Watch

One of the most anticipated shows of the season is expected to be Alaïa’s, which will mark the final collection designed by creative director Pieter Mulier before his move to Versace in summer 2026. Another pivotal moment arrives on March 4, when Antonin Tron will present his debut collection for Balmain, following Olivier Rousteing’s departure.

Hermès and a Transitional Season

Hermès will also appear on the AW26 schedule following a farewell show by longtime artistic director Véronique Nichanian. However, the collection presented will not yet reflect the creative direction of her successor, Grace Wales Bonner. Her first designs for the house are expected to debut in a future season.
