10 Fashion Weeks to Keep an Eye Out for in 2026

The 2026 fashion calendar moves between heritage capitals and newer voices, spanning from menswear, couture, and women’s ready-to-wear across historic and emerging global fashion capitals. From couture ateliers to ready-to-wear collections shaping global wardrobes, below are the fashion weeks worth keeping an eye on in the year ahead.

1. Milan Fashion Week (Men’s) | January 16–20

Milan opens the 2026 fashion calendar with menswear, presenting Fall/Winter 2026–27 collections grounded in tailoring, materials, and Italian craftsmanship. Long regarded as the global reference point for luxury menswear, the city’s fashion influence grew alongside Italy’s post-war textile and manufacturing strength and continues to define how modern men dress.

2. Paris Fashion Week (Men’s) | January 20–25

Paris follows with men’s collections that balance heritage maisons with contemporary designers, often introducing the season’s most experimental ideas. Menswear shows were formally separated into their own calendar here in the 1970s, and Paris has since become the most conceptually driven stop on the men’s fashion circuit.

3. Paris Haute Couture Week | January 26–29

Haute Couture Week in January will showcase Spring/Summer 2026 made-to-measure collections created exclusively for private clients. Legally regulated in France and rooted in 19th-century atelier traditions, couture remains the highest expression of fashion craftsmanship, defined by handwork, precision, and rarity.

4. Copenhagen Fashion Week | January 26–30

Copenhagen’s Fall/Winter 2026–27 shows will continue to spotlight Nordic brands operating under strict sustainability and production standards. Founded in the early 2000s, the fashion week has gained global attention for formalising environmental criteria, positioning the city as a leader in responsible fashion.

5. Berlin Fashion Week | January 30 – February 2

Berlin Fashion Week will present Fall/Winter 2026–27 collections with a focus on independent designers and alternative formats rather than traditional luxury showcases.

6. Dubai Fashion Week | February 1–6

Dubai Fashion Week will run from February 1 to 6, presenting Autumn/Winter 2026–27 collections with a strong emphasis on couture, occasion wear, and luxury ready-to-wear. Co-founded by Dubai Design District and the Arab Fashion Council, it mirrors the region’s growing influence in global luxury consumption.

7. New York Fashion Week | February 11–16

New York will kick off the women’s ready-to-wear season with Fall/Winter 2026–27 collections that balance luxury with commercial relevance. Originally launched in 1943 as Press Week, it remains the world’s oldest organised fashion week and a key driver of the American fashion business.

8. London Fashion Week | February 19–23

London Fashion Week will present Fall/Winter 2026–27 women’s collections with its usual focus on emerging talent and directional design. Established in 1984 and supported by the British Fashion Council, it has long functioned as an incubator for designers who shape global fashion.

9. Milan Fashion Week (Women’s) | February 24 – March 2

Milan’s women’s shows will highlight Fall/Winter 2026–27 collections rooted in Italian luxury codes, from refined tailoring to material excellence. The city rose to prominence in the 1970s as Italy became a global leader in luxury manufacturing and fashion exports.

10. Paris Fashion Week (Women’s) | March 3–11

Paris will close the season with women’s ready-to-wear collections for Fall/Winter 2026–27, bringing together the world’s most influential fashion houses. With roots in early 20th-century couture presentations, Paris Fashion Week remains the final and most authoritative word on the global fashion calendar.
