The best street style looks from Paris Haute Couture Week FW26 The capital of haute couture puts clothes back in the spotlight

A week full of fireworks has just ended in Paris. At the end of a Haute Couture Week where some of the top luxury fashion houses presented a new creative direction, we can confidently say that, between extravagant collections and a crowd going wild over the presence of celebrities and viral artists, this time the spotlight was truly on the clothes. The debut of Michael Rider at Celine kicked off four days of new beginnings and farewells, such as Demna’s beautiful tribute to the city of Paris in his final collection at the helm of Balenciaga, the opulent homage by Glenn Martens to the founder of Maison Margiela, where he is now creative director, and the latest chapter entirely signed by the design office of Chanel, before the arrival of Matthieu Blazy. Even though the haute couture looks were under the spotlight and phone flashes, the guests and attendees of Couture Week also kept the style bar high. Here's a selection.
