The fall 2026 couture shows have just kicked off in Paris, and we’re already off to a thrilling start. First up was longtime fashion darling Olivier Theyskens, who revealed his new collection for Boloria (it was ready-to-wear, yes, but plenty dramatic), followed by Daniel Roseberry’s ocean-inspired Schiaparelli and Jonathan Anderson’s dreamy pleats at Dior. Expect more resplendent glamour and sumptuous refinement as houses like Chanel, Balenciaga, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Armani Privé demonstrate the beauty and hand craftsmanship of couture. For a close-up look at every stitch, every sequin, every stunning seam, we sent photographer Acielle Tanbetova to capture the behind-the-scenes goings-on. Here’s a look at what she saw.
