The 2026 Fall/Winter Paris Fashion Week (PFW) kicked off with significant excitement on the third day, highlighted by the attendance of BLACKPINK's Rosé at the Saint Laurent show. The previous day's events were marred by delays caused by attacks on Iran involving Israel and the US, affecting the arrival of many attendees and creating a tense atmosphere among the staff at various venues. However, on the second day of the event, the familiar vibrant spirit of PFW returned, signaling a recovery from the chaos of the prior day.

One of the first shows attended featured Mame Kurogouchi, whose designs were inspired by old glass and displayed layered materials with transparency. During her creative process, Kurogouchi has increasingly reflected on the strength of nature, particularly influenced by her travels between her studio in the Yatsugatake Mountains and her home in Tokyo. The color palette of her collection prominently featured greens, and she also showcased a collaborative bag made in partnership with Tsuchiya Kaban. After the show, Kurogouchi made a point of interacting with the media, reflecting her diligent approach and commitment to her work.

The fashion week continued with attendees walking to various shows, including Ganni, depicting a return to the usual PFW atmosphere and showcasing the resilience of the fashion community amidst the turmoil of external factors. The events highlight not only the creativity and innovation of designers but also the broader implications of global events on the fashion industry, drawing attention from both local and international viewers.
