Loewe will not participate in the January men's catwalk season in Paris

The house of Loewe has decided not to present any show in the next men's catwalk season in Paris in January. Instead, it will combine menswear and womenswear in a co-ed show during the upcoming women's ready-to-wear season in the French capital in March.

“Loewe will move to a mixed format to present the first men's collection from creative directors, Jack McCollough and Lázaro Hernández, in a unified approach with the women's show during Paris Fashion Week in March 2026,” the house said in a terse statement Wednesday morning.

However, he highlighted that “Loewe will return with a show dedicated to men in June 2026.”

The surprise news comes just before the official calendar of the men's fashion and haute couture runway seasons is unveiled in January. These schedules are usually published the week before Christmas by the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode, the governing body of French haute couture.

Fashion observers will regard the news as disappointing, as veteran creative director Jonathan Anderson's Loewe shows were the highlights of the French men's season. McCollough and Hernandez succeeded Anderson after he moved to Dior in June of this year.

Doubly so, as McCollough and Hernandez's debut Loewe collection in October garnered very positive reviews.
