Paris Haute Couture calendar unveiled

With Fashion Week’s currently in limbo as the world watches the effects of the new omicron COVID variant, the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode has published the calendar for Paris Couture Week. France is currently on its Fifth Wave of the pandemic.

Currently, 31 houses are scheduled to show their collections between January 24 and January 27. Schiaparelli will open the week on January 24 at 10 a.m. This Couture Week is also expected to see the return of Giambattista Valli and Ralph Rucci.

Jean Paul Gaultier is collaborating with Glenn Martens for the second part of his guest couturier series. This season will also see newcomer Yanina Couture, a Moscow-based fashion house founded by Yulia Yanina. She will close out the week on January 27. The final calendar will be published the first week of January, at which point France will have a better idea of how the omicron variant is affecting their country.
