Official Schedule Confirmed for Men's Fall/Winter 2026-2027 Fashion Weeks

The official schedule for the upcoming Men's Fall/Winter 2026-2027 fashion season has been finalized. The international circuit will commence with Pitti Uomo in Florence on January 13, 2026. Following this, the focus will shift to Milan, beginning January 16, before concluding the main events in Paris on January 20, 2026.

Florence kicks off the season with the 109th edition of Pitti Uomo. This event is centered around the theme of 'Motion,' symbolizing dynamism and forward progress within the industry. The international trade show is expected to host over 700 brands, with approximately 44 percent of exhibitors hailing from outside Italy. Notable designers scheduled to present include Hed Mayner and Soshi Otsuki. The visual campaign for this edition, crafted by Chris Vidal and Tuomas Laitinen of Ssaw, interprets the concept of movement through striking black-and-white photography.

Milan Fashion Week is set to run from January 16 through January 20, 2026. A significant highlight of the Milan calendar is the highly anticipated return of the American heritage brand Ralph Lauren to the official schedule after a two-decade absence. The fashion house, which last showed its menswear collection officially in Milan in 2002, will debut its Purple Label and Polo Ralph Lauren lines on January 16, effectively opening the Milanese segment. This move is noteworthy, contrasting with the current trend of some European houses opting for US presentations, and speaks to a re-evaluation of global fashion pathways.

Further solidifying the Milan schedule, Giorgio Armani is slated to present its collection on January 19, adhering to the established timeline. This presentation will carry particular weight, marking a significant moment of continuity following the passing of the brand's founder in September 2025. According to data from the Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana, Milan's schedule encompasses 76 planned events in total. Of these, 18 will be physical runway shows, with the remainder taking place in digital formats.

Emporio Armani will adopt a co-ed presentation format during the subsequent women's weeks. Meanwhile, EA7 is scheduled for a special event on January 17, emphasizing its role as the official outfitter for the Italian team participating in the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Games. This integration highlights the intersection of high fashion and major sporting events.

The final leg, Paris Fashion Week Men's, is scheduled from January 20 through January 25, 2026. Louis Vuitton will set the tone for the Parisian week, opening proceedings on the first day with a show under the creative direction of Pharrell Williams. Jonathan Anderson has adjusted the calendar, moving the Dior Men presentation to January 21. Additionally, Dries Van Noten is preparing for a debut under its new Creative Director, Julian Klotzner, who has previous tenure with the house dating back to 2018. Klotzner’s first show in March 2025, held at the Opéra Garnier, explored a dialogue between heritage and the future, utilizing rich textures and silhouettes inspired by the palace’s architecture.
