Fashion · Haute Couture · January 2027
Four days a season, Paris becomes the capital of couture again: unique pieces hand-sewn in the ateliers, shown to a few hundred guests. Here is how to prepare, with clarity on what is possible and what is not.
Dates: Monday 25 to Thursday 28 January 2027
Haute Couture Week Spring Summer 2027 takes place in Paris from Monday 25 to Thursday 28 January 2027, according to the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode calendar. It immediately follows Paris Men's Fashion Week Fall Winter 2027 (19 to 24 January), so late January brings two consecutive fashion weeks.
The detailed schedule of houses is published by the Fédération a few weeks beforehand; we do not anticipate it here.
What Haute Couture is, and why it is so exclusive
"Haute Couture" is a legally protected designation in France. It refers to made-to-measure creations largely handmade in Parisian ateliers, under criteria set by the authorities and the Fédération. Clients are few, pieces are unique, and shows mainly gather press, buyers, personalities and each house's clients.
How to attend a Haute Couture show
To be clear: shows are strictly by invitation from the houses. There is no ticketing, and AC PRIVATE does not sell invitations, badges or seats. What opens doors is first a relationship with a house: being a client of its ateliers, having a commission project, being introduced by a trusted contact. Our article on attending a couture show without an invitation explains how this works.
