Paris Fashion Week Men’s will return on June 23, with a packed Spring/Summer 2027 calendar and relentless heat. Because of the high temperatures, Dior brought its Wednesday show forward to 9am, instead of the originally scheduled 2.30 pm slot. At this stage, no further changes have been made, but stay attentive and stay hydrated.

Coinciding with the World Cup, expect to see soccer-inspired references woven into collections, as well as watch parties popping up across town — particularly on June 26, during France vs Norway. (L’Oréal Men Expert’s La Grande Nuit des Champions watch party will take place at Parc des Princes stadium in western Paris.)

As for the fashion, Celine’s Michael Rider will make his menswear debut, while Sarah Burton will host her first men’s presentation for Givenchy. Saint Laurent is showing on the first day of PFW Men’s, continuing its on-and-off approach to the schedule; last June’s show was also on the opening day, while January’s took place during couture. Mexican American designer Willy Chavarria returns for his fourth season in Paris, and instead of a show, Hermès will host a presentation designed by the studio, ahead of Grace Wales Bonner’s debut in January. It will also be Jonathan Anderson’s third men’s show for Dior.

The schedule, running until June 28, features a total of 33 shows and 37 presentations, versus SS26’s 30 shows and 40 presentations.

Saint Laurent will kick off at 5pm. The stakes are high: the house intends to more than double its men’s business by 2030, Kering CEO Luca de Meo announced during the company’s Capital Markets Day. Auralee by Japanese designer Ryota Iwai will also be showing on day one. “Auralee’s star has risen over the past few seasons to become one of the hottest tickets on the men’s schedule,” Ashley Ogawa Clarke wrote last season. Louis Vuitton will close out the day.

This season, Kenzo continues to impress with its presentation format. After hosting last season’s inside Kenzo Takada’s “oasis” house in Paris, SS27’s week-long La Fête de Kenzo will span several locations around the Place des Victoires (where Takada opened his offices, design studio, and boutique 50 years ago). La Fête de Kenzo will feature a showroom, a pop-up, a coffee shop conceived by We Are Ona and Japanese chef Sugio Yamaguchi, a flower shop in collaboration with Paris florist Debeaulieu, and a market. These spaces are open to the public from June 22 to 28, but the official presentation will take place on June 24, from 9am to 6pm.

Also on June 24, American rapper Jaden Smith, who is Christian Louboutin’s first men’s creative director, will present his second collection for the house. Acne Studios will celebrate the launch of Acne Paper 21: Self-Portrait — a special issue coinciding with the brand’s 30th anniversary — alongside its usual presentation. There will also be an exhibition of work by Dutch photographer Carlijn Jacobs at the Acne Paper Palais Royal gallery, on view until July 26. Other highlights of the day will include the Berluti presentation and Ami Paris show.

Meryll Rogge, Marni’s creative director, will then present the debut menswear collection for her namesake label, founded in 2020.

Amiri’s co-ed show will be held at Le Carreau du Temple on June 25, “offering a take on Hollywood’s seductive glamour”, according to the brand. Shanghai and London-based menswear brand Feng Chen Wang, and one of Kering’s resident Chinese designers, is showing on the presentation schedule on June 25 at 3pm. The next day, Lanvin creative director Peter Copping will host his first standalone men’s presentation on the official schedule, and Guram Gvasalia will return with a Vetements show on June 26 at 8.30pm (the last time the brand showed on-schedule was in 2021).

After making its international debut at January’s Pitti Uomo, Japanese designer and 2025 LVMH Prize winner Soshiotsuki is joining the Paris calendar on June 27.

KidSuper, which was initially set to show on Sunday at 5pm, will instead show at the Nu Stadium in Miami on June 25. “Every time I kept coming up with the ideas for Paris, I kept getting pulled back to the US. Because this is the World Cup, and we might not see it here again for another 30 or 40 years,” KidSuper Colm Dillane told Luke Leitch.

After showing at the tail end of PFW Men’s for the last few seasons, Simon Porte Jacquemus is returning to the destination show format. He will show his co-ed collection, Le Bonheur, at the Phare de la Pietra in Île-Rousse at 10am on June 29.

Beyond the shows

After a standout year marked by buzzy collaborations with A24’s Marty Supreme and Formula One, as well as a runway return in January, Nahmias will host a dinner to celebrate the third release of its Puma collaboration (debuted in February with the Puma Suede in three colorways, followed in April by the Puma Speedcat and an accompanying apparel line). The brand will be back on the runway next January.

Don’t miss the Pomellato exhibition, Pomellato Le Joaillier Révolutionnaire, running from June 24 to July 29 at Palais de Tokyo — the first exhibition in Paris dedicated to the jeweler known for its bold design and gemstones.

You can also head to the Pont Neuf and take refuge from the heat in the shade of la Caverne du Pont-Neuf, the temporary cave-like installation by French artist JR. There’s also an augmented reality visit dubbed Echoes using Specs, Snap’s latest smart glasses. The cave is open to the public from June 15 to 28.

Back on the topic of soccer, L’Oréal Men Expert will be hosting a watch party at the iconic Parc des Princes stadium in western Paris. La Grande Nuit des Champions party will be streaming the France game on June 26.

Then, if you need an energy lift, head to the Balenciaga Boost pop-up from June 26 to 28 at 10 Place des Vosges, where smoothies (such as the Main Character with marine collagen cubes) freshly made juices, and protein and adaptogen bars are all on the menu. It coincides with the launch of the brand’s TechWear line, which includes cutout bodysuits, fitted tops, cycling shorts, hot pants, leggings, socks, and more, as part of the fall 2026 collection. On June 25, Balenciaga will also take over the Paris fitness studio Barry’s.

While you’re in town, you can also check out new hotspots including Bus Palladium, “the iconic Paris nightclub that reopened as an uber-stylish hotel”, as Mark Holgate put it, new members’ club 51 Iéna and its sprawling terrace, as well as Sant Roch, the largest sauna in France. (Tip: skip the sauna and jump straight into the cold plunge.)
