Paris will be buzzing as usual during the womenswear fashion week and, also as usual, it will be hosting three of its longest-established trade shows: Tranoï, Woman and Première Classe. They will be an opportunity for French and international buyers to discover the many creative trends characterising the Spring/Summer 2026 season.

Tranoï – venue: Palais Brongniart, 16 place de la Bourse (2nd arrondissement)
