Why go
Paris Fashion Week is the apex of the global fashion calendar, the final city in the Big 4 circuit, and the one that sets the cultural tone for the season. Shows from the major French houses (Chanel, Dior, Saint Laurent, Givenchy) are invitation-only, but the city transforms visibly: showrooms open, concept stores launch collaborations, and the street style outside show venues has become an institution in itself. For fashion-motivated travelers, Paris in February/March or September/October delivers a density of fashion culture unavailable at any other time.
When it runs
Two Ready-to-Wear seasons: late February/early March and late September/early October.
