The menswear calendar shifts focus to Paris this week, and there's plenty to look forward to as the Spring Summer 2026 collections take centre stage.

The city of lights has already welcomed Louis Vuitton and Saint Laurent, whose shows drew a star-studded front row. And later in the week, Jonathan Anderson made his long-awaited debut at Dior, with a men's collection unveiled on June 27 — marking the start of several creative directors making their imprint at major houses in the months ahead.

The week will also spotlight a dynamic mix of established icons and fresh talent alike — from Julian Klausner's first menswear show for Dries Van Noten, to the return of Grace Wales Bonner to the official schedule. For all the highlights at Men's Fashion Week in Paris, read on...

Wales Bonner

A decade in the industry is no easy feat, so Grace Wales Bonner made sure to celebrate her namesake brand's enduring status with its Spring/Summer 26 collection, which also coincided with the brand's tenth anniversary. The result was pieces that expertly towed the line between fine tailoring, and casual sportswear — think leather jackets layered over polos, suiting worn open and effortlessly, and delicate shirting in loud prints. Speaking backstage, Wales Bonner said she was inspired by the looks she created for this year's Met Gala and its accompanying theme, and sought to create pieces that the character of the Black dandy might wear in everyday life.  The collection also built upon the brand's longstanding relationship with adidas, this time introducing what will likely become the next most-wanted sneaker: a collaboration with the adidas Y-3 line on six unique colourways.

Dries Van Noten

Julian Klausner’s debut for Dries Van Noten brought a welcome burst of energy to the brand. The collection leaned into bold colour, joyful prints, and playful styling, marking a clear yet confident evolution of the house’s identity. Having designed for the womenswear label alongside Van Noten for six years, Klausner was adept at honouring the brand’s roots, Klausner, while also beckoning a strong start to a fresh new chapter.

Louis Vuitton

Closing out day one of the schedule, Pharrell Williams returned to the runway at Place Georges-Pompidou for Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer 2026 menswear show and, as always, blurred the lines between fashion and spectacle. Guests were arranged along a Snakes and Ladders-inspired runway, as a cinematic soundtrack unfolded — moving from orchestral brass to gospel and Bollywood-inflected beats, and culminating in an exclusive track by Tyler, the Creator and Doechii. The collection itself built on Pharrell’s now-familiar visual language: diamond-studded tailoring, “damouflage” prints, and future-thinking reimaginings of the House’s codes.

Saint Laurent

Anthony Vaccarello chose a sun-drenched afternoon at the Bourse de Commerce to present his latest work for Saint Laurent.
Set around an aquamarine installation by artist Céleste Boursier-Mougenot, the Spring/Summer 2026 menswear collection was a sensual shift from the House's darker Autumn mood. Billowing silk shirts, paper-bag shorts, and oversized sunglasses nodded to both '70s Paris and the breezy allure of Fire Island, blurring formality with an unmistakably Saint Laurent ease.

Hermès

At Hermès SS26, menswear drifted between structure and softness, with crisp tailoring rendered almost immaterial – light, airy, and precise. Staged at the Palais d’Iéna amongst a maze of mirrors, Véronique Nichanian’s vision invited a kind of urban reverie, where silhouettes felt louche and breathable; a relaxed take on luxury.

Dior Men

Jonathan Anderson’s debut Dior men's collection transformed the runway into a velvet-lined replica of Berlin’s Gemäldegalerie, where heirloom tailoring met rococo whimsy and historical codes were gently reimagined. With guests including Rihanna, Daniel Craig, and Donatella Versace, the show cemented itself as both a cerebral fashion statement and one of the most star-studded events of Paris Fashion Week.

Willy Chavarria

Willy Chavarria’s Spring 2026 Men’s Fashion Show in Paris opened with 35 male models wearing ACLU-partnered white T-shirts, highlighting immigrant rights and referencing ICE raids in his hometown of Huron, California. The collection featured Italian-milled fabrics, expanded womenswear designed by Rebecca Mendoza, and previewed an upcoming Charles Jourdan collaboration, all underscoring Chavarria’s mission to redefine luxury through activism and inclusive storytelling.
