Paris Haute Couture Week once again proved why it remains the pinnacle of fashion, showcasing extraordinary craftsmanship and boundary-pushing designs. Unlike ready-to-wear collections, haute couture pieces are exclusive, custom-made creations that require approval from France’s governing fashion body. This year, the event celebrated major milestones while presenting bold artistic visions.

Chanel honored its 110-year legacy in haute couture with a striking show at the Grand Palais. The runway itself was designed to resemble the brand’s iconic double-C logo, reinforcing its heritage. The collection featured embroidered tweeds, silk dresses, and flowing capes, offering a modern interpretation of classic Chanel elegance. While awaiting the arrival of new creative director Matthieu Blazy in April 2025, the design studio ensured that the brand’s signature style remained timeless yet refreshed.

Another landmark moment came from Giorgio Armani, who celebrated 20 years of Armani Privé with a collection themed around light and radiance. Presented in the lavish Palazzo Armani, the show featured 94 looks, including beaded suits, shimmering evening gowns, and 1920s-inspired headpieces. Armani’s signature precision was evident, blending past inspirations with contemporary refinement.

Valentino’s Alessandro Michele brought a new perspective to the brand’s couture line, choosing to present only one collection per year instead of the traditional two. His debut at the Palais Brongniart paid tribute to history, incorporating elements of the Ancien Régime with crinoline dresses, elaborate collars, and Ottoman-style pants. Inspired by literature and film, Michele compared the creative process to drafting an endless list, where each handcrafted detail adds to the final masterpiece.

Dior’s collection, led by Maria Grazia Chiuri, explored themes of transformation, reflecting the transition from childhood to adulthood. Models graced the runway in crinoline skirts, embroidered butterflies, and gold-threaded raffia, creating an ethereal, garden-like aesthetic. The show revived Dior’s trapeze silhouette, first introduced by Yves Saint Laurent in 1958, proving that timeless styles can still evolve.

Schiaparelli, under designer Daniel Roseberry, embraced dramatic silhouettes and corseted gowns inspired by haute couture’s origins. A standout look was Kendall Jenner’s nude gown with intricate Chinoiserie embroidery, emphasizing a sharply cinched waist. The collection drew inspiration from early couturiers, blending vintage influences with modern luxury.

Paris Haute Couture Week once again highlighted the artistry behind high fashion, where history, craftsmanship, and innovation come together. With major brands celebrating their legacies and new designers redefining the future, this season reaffirmed couture’s lasting allure.
