Inhale. Exhale. Paris Fashion Week is complete, and fashion month is done.
For those of you who ran around the globe – literally – or mentally completed your own version of the fashion triathlon, it’s over. Bitter‑sweet, really. We love fashion month for all its chaos, creativity, and celebrity cameos but by the end of it – it’s definitely time for a breather. And for some, especially with distressing realities in the world right now, Paris Fashion Week wasn’t just runway content – it was an escape into sheer imagination for a few days.
With that said, MOJEH reflects on the shows, the moments, and the bits that truly took our notice.
Celine
Celine’s AW26 show just kept getting better and better. Michael Rider served look after look that was genuinely drool-worthy: sleek tailoring, cropped kick-flare trousers and sculptural leather scarves that made you want it all. Minimalism met personality, classic codes met modern attitude, and not a single outfit disappointed. The collection felt effortless and undeniably wearable; it was the kind of show that makes you want to walk out, own the streets, and claim everything in the collection.
Chloé
This is a collection where the styling and cohesion stands out beyond belief. It’s not for the faint-hearted of dressers – but for anyone who wants to be unapologetically boho and turn heads, look no further. Flowing dresses, ruffled skirts, buttery leather, capes, and layered textures created a runway that captured our hearts from start to finish thanks to a marriage of folk-inspired embroidery and modern tailoring.
Loewe
The autumn/winter 2026 Loewe collection was pure playful genius from start to finish. Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez treated designing like a joyful experiment, where curiosity, craft and a dash of mischief collided to make fashion feel funky and alive. Building on the sunny optimism of their first season, they injected humour, bold ideas and clever twists into every piece. Artist Cosima von Bonin turned the runway into a mini art playground, with her quirky sculptures interacting with the clothes and adding wit to the show. Her work, blending humour with sharp critique, perfectly mirrored Loewe’s mix of fun and thoughtful design. The runway felt like a lively creative haven full of surprises.
Alaïa
Creative director Pieter Mulier, showing his final collection for Alaïa after a five‑year run, built a presentation that was both sculptural and deeply personal. He leaned into the brand’s DNA of precision tailoring, body‑celebrating silhouettes and sensual lines, weaving moments of restraint and drama that felt like a homage to Alaïa’s ethos. The runway felt like a gradual crescendo – streamlined knit pieces and architectural jackets giving way to fluid, sensuous forms that seemed to breathe with the wearer. Mulier’s parting note was clear: this was about collective craft as much as individual vision, with an emphasis on refined simplicity and reverence for the House’s history.
Victoria Beckham
Despite being in the midst of some public family drama, Victoria Beckham delivered a confident and polished runway show at Paris Fashion Week. Staged in a candlelit Parisian mansion, the collection leaned heavily into power dressing (always a yes from us), featuring sharply tailored suits, sculptural coats and sleek evening dresses that balanced strong structure with softness. Dark, moody tones such as navy, burgundy, olive and black dominated the runway, while sheer fabrics and bold silhouettes added a sense of drama. The influence of Art Deco artist Tamara de Lempicka was visible in the collection’s strong lines and glamorous shapes, giving the designs a polished yet subtly seductive edge. The show ultimately reinforced Beckham’s growing credibility within the fashion industry, making it clear that she is no longer seen simply as a celebrity with a fashion label, but as a serious designer with a distinct and evolving vision.
Jean Paul Gaultier
As always, you can’t watch a Jean Paul Gaultier show without a bit of shock factor. This season embraced the House’s tradition of provocation, mixing sharply tailored suits with exaggerated silhouettes and sculptural dresses that challenged conventional ideas of the body. Under creative director Duran Lantink, the collection played with gender and proportion, drawing inspiration from the androgynous glamour of Marlene Dietrich while adding futuristic details and unexpected styling. Cowboy hats paired with glamorous gowns, dramatic shoulders and experimental body-con pieces created a surreal atmosphere on the runway.
Chanel
Matthieu Blazy’s AW26 show was pure transformation in motion. Inspired by Coco Chanel’s notion of being a caterpillar by day and a butterfly by night, the collection opened with practical, understated pieces before unfurling into ethereal, iridescent eveningwear. Set against towering cranes and a glimmering Grand Palais runway, the show was mesmerising and magical, perfectly bringing Chanel’s heritage to life with a modern, fairytale‑like flourish.
Miu Miu
Gillian Anderson owned Miu Miu AW26, as she closed the show in a buttery-yellow embellished shift dress. At 57, she proved that style has no age, striding down the grassy runway with confidence and elegance, perfectly positioned between fashion veterans and rising stars. Every step felt like a reminder that in fashion, experience is its own kind of glamour, and the relationship between film and fashion will always go hand in hand.
La Watch Party — Where Fashion Week Became Everyone’s Runway
One of the most memorable off-calendar highlights of AW26 wasn’t in a tent at all – it was La Watch Party, founded by Alexandra Reyes to make Paris Fashion Week more accessible to everyone. Instead of only VIPs with front-row invites getting runway access, crowds of fashion fans gathered in communal spaces like the Théâtre du Châtelet to live-stream major shows together on big screens. From Saint Laurent to Balenciaga and Chanel, every runway moment was broadcast with an energetic crowd cheering, debating, and reacting in real time – a far cry from the usual hush of traditional fashion shows. The vibe was electric, inclusive, and transformative, turning exclusive catwalk wonders into shared cultural experiences where anyone could feel the thrill of fashion week firsthand.
