Celine
Michael Rider has established a strong direction for Celine and this collection was another lesson in how to make everyday clothes feel chic. There was plenty of sharp tailoring albeit mixed with softer, more relaxed pieces – long coats, wide trousers, leather and easy dresses. Nothing felt too styled or overly polished, which is what made the looks so appealing. The key takeaway? It’s all about mixing smarter pieces with something a little more relaxed. A sharp jacket with loose trousers, or a great coat thrown over something simple, feels very Celine right now.

Chloé
Chloé was full of the things we love most about the brand – floaty dresses, lace, bohemian details and plenty of femininity – but Chemena Kamali added some tougher, more practical pieces to keep everything feeling modern. Oversized trenches, raincoats and capes were styled with pretty dresses and delicate fabrics, creating that contrast between romantic and utilitarian that worked so well. We loved the colours, too – from tomato red to butter yellow. Turns out you don’t need to go head-to-toe boho – one pretty Chloé-style piece with something more utilitarian feels so much cooler.

Victoria Beckham
Victoria Beckham just knows how to make polished dressing feel easy. There were beautifully cut jackets, wide-leg trousers and elegant dresses – but everything had movement and felt surprisingly relaxed. Sheer fabrics, asymmetric details and pops of colour – particularly rich green, blue and red – stopped the tailoring from feeling too serious. We loved the balance of structure and softness throughout. This is grown-up dressing at its best: smart enough for work but with enough personality to take you somewhere after.

Dior
Dior was all about lightness and imperfection. Taking inspiration from nature, Jonathan Anderson steered clear of symmetry, sending out floaty layers of silk, organza and chiffon, peplums that were structured but never rigid, and flared hems and long scarves that gave everything movement. Soft pastels and metallic silver set the tone for colour, while heels printed with floral photography and bags that looked casually collected added to the free-spirited mood. We loved the mismatched earrings, which were used to make the looks feel undone in the best way.

Valentino
Valentino was the big glamour moment of the week, with Alessandro Michele embracing colour, embellishment and plenty of drama. There were sheer skirts, satin, lace, bows and statement dresses alongside oversized tailoring and more playful pieces like baseball caps. It was maximalist but in a way that felt fun rather than fussy. After so much quiet luxury, it was refreshing to see a collection that really wanted you to dress up. We’ll be taking the idea of adding one OTT piece to an otherwise simple look – a statement bow, sheer skirt or killer pair of heels is all it takes.

Dries Van Noten
Dries Van Noten balanced lavish embellishment with practical everyday dressing. Skirts printed with vintage film posters took centre stage, styled with relaxed tops, tailored pieces and wearable separates. Rich colour, eclectic patterns and unexpected layering made the collection feel polished yet playful.

Stella McCartney
Stella McCartney placed ocean conservation at the heart of her SS27 show, staging it in the rain-soaked gardens of the British Embassy in Paris. Sea-inspired prints, dolphin motifs and fluid silhouettes brought the theme to life, while sharp tailoring, sheer layers and sculptural dresses kept the collection polished and modern. Staying true to McCartney’s cruelty-free approach, the show also highlighted fashion made without wool, leather or fur.

Givenchy
Sarah Burton’s SS27 collection explored the balance between precision and movement, translating couture techniques into a modern everyday wardrobe. Oversized coats, sculptural dresses and softly rounded tailoring were contrasted with sharp shirts, fluid trousers and unexpected cut-outs. A considered palette of soft neutrals was lifted with flashes of bold colour, adding energy to the collection’s refined silhouettes. The result felt empowering and wearable, with enough surreal detail to keep it distinctly Givenchy.

Saint Laurent
Saint Laurent’s SS27 show marked ten years of Anthony Vaccarello at the house and may prove to be his final collection for the brand. Set beneath the Eiffel Tower, the show opened with a dazzling display of gold – from sparkling skirts and satin tailoring to shimmering lamé and burnished animal prints. The collection ended with a series of striking black looks, adding a note of drama and emotion to an otherwise celebratory finale.

Chanel
Chanel felt fresh again this season, with Matthieu Blazy putting his own spin on some of the house’s most recognisable signatures. Tweed, pearls and quilted bags were all there but styled in a much less traditional way – think sheer layers, cropped jackets, playful prints and plenty of movement. We particularly liked the mix of polished tailoring with more relaxed pieces, which made the collection feel younger without losing what makes Chanel, Chanel.

Loewe
Loewe’s SS27 show marked another confident step in the brand’s new creative direction. Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez combined relaxed American dressing with Spanish craftsmanship, showcasing colourful knitwear, tailored jackets, supple leather and intricately beaded dresses. Easy denim and wearable separates gave the collection a practical edge, while playful details made sure it still felt like Loewe.

Balenciaga
For SS27, Pierpaolo Piccioli brought a couture sensibility into the everyday wardrobe. Cristóbal Balenciaga’s sculptural volumes were reworked through cocoon coats, softly rounded dresses and sculpted peplums, while denim, cargo trousers and flip-flops added a more relaxed edge. The result felt thoughtful, refined and wearable.

Zimmermann
Zimmermann brought its signature femininity to Paris – only with a little more edge this time. Floaty dresses, delicate lace and intricate butterfly details were balanced with oversized jackets, relaxed denim and more practical pieces. The result felt romantic without being too pretty, which is exactly what made it work. We loved the softer butter yellow, pale blue and pink shades but it was the combination of beautiful, feminine dresses with tougher outerwear that really stood out.
