Paris Fashion Week Final Calendar: When Dior, Chanel and Louis Vuitton Show
Featured image: an original editorial concept created for Paris Runway Official. It does not depict an official Paris Fashion Week venue, invitation or brand product.
Paris Fashion Week’s final Spring/Summer 2027 calendar is now live, giving editors, buyers and international audiences a confirmed nine-day framework from September 28 through October 6. The schedule places Christian Dior and Saint Laurent on the second day, Chanel on October 5 and Louis Vuitton in the closing slot on October 6.
The most useful detail is not simply when the houses show, but how their digital access differs. Dior and Louis Vuitton are listed with livestreams beginning at the same time as their invitation-only presentations. Chanel’s public film is scheduled for release one hour after its show begins.
The confirmed major-house schedule
- Christian Dior: Tuesday, September 29 at 2:30 p.m. Paris time. Invitation-only show and simultaneous livestream.
- Saint Laurent: Tuesday, September 29 at 9 p.m. Invitation-only show and simultaneous livestream.
- Chanel: Monday, October 5 at 8 p.m. Invitation-only show; the official film is listed for release from 9 p.m. Paris time.
- Louis Vuitton: Tuesday, October 6 at 6:30 p.m. Invitation-only show and simultaneous livestream.
These details come from the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode’s final calendar. Because fashion-week schedules can still change for operational reasons, production teams should treat the live FHCM page as the controlling source rather than relying on saved screenshots.
Why the access format matters
A “livestream” and a later “film of the show” are not interchangeable for press planning. A live broadcast allows editors and social teams to respond as the runway unfolds. A delayed film creates a second, controlled release moment and gives the house time to determine how the public first encounters the collection.
For Chanel, the calendar’s one-hour interval means outside audiences should not assume they will see the presentation at the same moment as invited guests. Teams planning live blogs, social posts or immediate trend commentary should schedule their public coverage around the 9 p.m. film release unless the house announces another access route.
Dior and Louis Vuitton are currently simpler from a timing perspective: the FHCM calendar lists their livestreams at the same time as the physical shows. Links and platform availability may be supplied by the houses closer to each event, so the schedule confirms timing rather than guaranteeing that every channel will carry the feed.
Paris Runway Official analysis: the week’s editorial pressure points
The calendar creates three distinct peaks. September 29 brings Dior in the afternoon and Saint Laurent at night, making the second day an immediate test of editorial resources. October 5 builds toward Chanel’s 8 p.m. presentation and 9 p.m. film. Louis Vuitton then closes the official show sequence at 6:30 p.m. on October 6.
For publications covering multiple markets, the practical challenge is not only attending shows. It is coordinating embargo checks, photographer delivery, beauty credits, first-look social coverage and longer-form analysis across several release formats.
The season also has two confirmed designer debuts highlighted in Vogue’s schedule report: Drew Henry at Courrèges on September 30 at 10:30 a.m. and Kai Nesselrath at Carven on October 1 at 12:30 p.m. The final calendar lists a simultaneous livestream for Courrèges, while Carven is currently marked digital without a same-time livestream entry.
Other dates to keep on the desk
- September 30: Courrèges at 10:30 a.m., Balmain at 1:30 p.m., Dries Van Noten at 3 p.m., Stella McCartney at 4 p.m. and Tom Ford at 8 p.m.
- October 1: Chloé at 10 a.m., Carven at 12:30 p.m., Balenciaga at 2 p.m., Schiaparelli at 7 p.m. and Isabel Marant at 8 p.m.
- October 2: Loewe at 11:30 a.m., Casablanca at 2:30 p.m., Givenchy at 5:30 p.m. and Victoria Beckham at 8 p.m.
- October 3: Celine at noon, Hermès at 3 p.m., Alaïa from 6 to 8:30 p.m. and Ann Demeulemeester at 6:30 p.m.
- October 4: Miu Miu at 1 p.m., Valentino at 3:30 p.m., Mugler at 6:30 p.m. and Jean Paul Gaultier at 8 p.m.
Vogue reported when the schedule was announced in July that the season contained 68 shows and 33 presentations, with Valentino, Maison Margiela, Sacai, Ester Manas, Christopher Esber and Casablanca returning after at least one season away. FHCM’s current final listing should be used for the latest event-by-event status.
Planning guidance for press and guests
- Separate accreditation from invitations. Official press accreditation does not automatically provide admission to an individual house’s show.
- Build around release times. A show time, livestream and film-release time may be different.
- Confirm the time zone. All times above are Paris local time.
- Allow travel buffers. Back-to-back calendar entries do not account for security queues, traffic, venue exits or interview delays.
- Verify again on the day. Use FHCM and the house’s official channels before publishing location or access details.
