When is Paris Haute Couture Week 2027?

Spring/Summer 2027 couture week runs Monday 25 to Thursday 28 January 2027, and the Haute Joaillerie Calendar runs the same week. Houses and venues are to be confirmed. Most shows are invitation-only. Where seats are available through authorised channels, we work to arrange attendance; we can't guarantee a seat.

The fashion year has a quiet centre, and it is Paris in January.

Haute Couture Week, 25 to 28 January 2027

The Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode sets the Spring/Summer 2027 couture week for Monday 25 to Thursday 28 January. It is built around an Official Calendar of Members, Corresponding Members and Guest Members, with guest members selected by the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture. The houses and venues for January are to be confirmed: the calendar is not yet published.

High jewellery, the same week

During couture week the Chambre Syndicale also runs the Haute Joaillerie Calendar, on which high-jewellery houses present new collections, by appointment or by invitation. The January 2027 houses, days and times are to be confirmed.
