This week's Paris Haute Couture shows swapped the usual piles of handmade lace and crystal-coated leather with materials last seen at the Dollar Store: latex balloons, crumpled chicken wire, ripped denim, and clumps of (very photogenic) hay.
From 6 to 9 July 2026, the most prestigious fashion houses will present their haute couture collections for autumn/winter 2026/27. Between spectacular robes, high-quality craftsmanship and creative visions, fashion is shown in its most exclusive form. GALA shows the most beautiful moments from Paris.
