Paris Fashion Week is equal parts runway and ritual: early call times, last-minute venue changes, and dinners where the guest list matters as much as the menu. For fashion-forward travellers, the Fall/Winter 26/27 season is a chance to experience Paris at its most elevated – with a suite that feels like a private apartment, reservations that land smoothly, and arrivals that don’t steal a day from your itinerary. Think champagne on board, a driver waiting kerbside, and a city itinerary that moves with you – never the other way round.
When is Paris Fashion Week 2026 (Women’s wear Fall/Winter 2026-2027)?
For womenswear ready-to-wear Fall/Winter 2026-2027, the official dates run from Monday 2 March to Tuesday 10 March 2026, as listed by the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode (FHCM). Across nine days, shows, presentations, and brand events unfold all over the city, from landmark venues to discreet salons and galleries.
How to attend Paris Fashion Week
How to attend Paris Fashion Week depends on what you want to be close to: the runway itself, the industry energy that surrounds it, or the wider cultural week that builds around the calendar.
Many official calendar shows are invitation-only, reserved for buyers, press and brand guests. But you can still access Paris Fall Fashion Week in ways that feel genuinely special: independent shows, brand pop-ups, exhibitions, and curated hospitality experiences that place you in the right rooms – without spending the week refreshing inboxes.
How to Get Paris Fashion Week Tickets
For anyone looking for how to get Paris Fashion Week tickets, start with the reality: for major maisons, seats are allocated via guest lists, not public checkouts. The smartest routes are:
- Luxury concierge or hospitality partners who specialise in runway seating, brand events and after-hours invitations
- Independent and off-calendar shows that release limited tickets or RSVP access
- Brand activations (pop-ups, exhibitions, collaborations) that offer a Fashion Week experience without the velvet-rope stress
If Paris Fashion Week VIP tickets are your goal, early planning is non-negotiable. VIP access usually means priority entry, premium seating, and a schedule that’s curated around your preferences – from shows to dinners to the final afterparty.
Arriving at Fall/Winter Fashion Week
Fashion Week timing is unforgiving, so your arrival should be quiet, fast, and flexible.

Paris Fashion Week dining, after dark and hotspots
Fashion Week days are structured; nights are where Paris loosens its tie. A few dependable moves:
Long lunches and late dinners
- Le Voltaire for classic Left Bank charm
- L’Avenue for Fashion Week people-watching near Avenue Montaigne
- Septime for a modern meal that feels effortlessly Parisian
Statement tasting menus – go where Paris does fine dining at full volume: Le Cinq, Plénitude, or Guy Savoy.
Cocktails that feel like part of the week Bar Hemingway (Ritz Paris) for an intimate classic; Le Silencio for a darker, art-led scene; and Hôtel Costes when you want the mood before you even sit down.
For afterparties, expect invitation-only brand events, private dinners and off-the-record locations – the kind of nights where a well-connected concierge is the difference between “maybe” and “you’re on the list”.
Curating your Fall/Winter Fashion Week experience
A good guide to Paris Fashion Week is really a guide to pacing. Build your week around three anchors:
- Your “must-do” shows and events (then leave space for the last-minute invitations that inevitably appear)
- One or two Paris resets – a museum hour, a neighbourhood stroll, a shopping appointment – so the week doesn’t become only car doors and call times
- Logistics that never fight you: reliable transfers, flexible timings, and a hotel suite that feels like a genuine reset between looks
This is where private aviation earns its place. With AirX, you can shape travel around show schedules, arrive closer to the city, and move between fashion capitals without losing a day to airport routines. Start with the AirX Experience, or get in touch via Contact to build a travel plan that matches your Fashion Week diary.
