The wedge is back: sleek and sculptural at Casablanca, Elie Saab and Victoria Beckham, in classic leather and wood at Vivienne Westwood – seen in Paris for spring/summer 2027.

Evening trousers instead of a dress: disco metallics at Dior, floating silk at Louis Vuitton, sheer sparkle at Julie Kegels – seen in Paris for spring/summer 2027.

Soft strands fall over the forehead with a matte texture, in a cool brown with rosewood tones. A women’s trend from Germany’s hairdressing association for autumn/winter 2026/27.

On 5 October at the Grand Palais: 83 looks mixing sportswear with evening dresses, plus a new stretchy “smocked tweed”. Nicole Kidman and Dua Lipa watched from the front row.
