On March 6, Paris Fashion Days took place on the iconic stage of the legendary InterContinental Paris Le Grand — a symbol of Parisian elegance, heritage, and timeless luxury. The runway brought together outstanding international designers who unveiled their FW2026 collections, presenting a refined vision of contemporary fashion and couture craftsmanship. Set in one of the most prestigious venues in the heart of Paris, the event celebrated creativity, artistry, and the vibrant spirit of the global fashion.
This season’s runway featured collections by AKEL COUTURE, ELSA FAIRY by IRYNA MYKYTIUK, NAZ MAER, and KANON by YUNA HATTORI, making Paris Fashion Days a truly international celebration of creativity and couture.
AKEL COUTURE & BABYPHOTOSTARS
AKEL COUTURE unveiled the collection “Les Princes d’Or,” a refined vision of modern couture created for the next generation. Inspired by the opulence of European royal courts, the collection reinterprets haute couture for the next generation through sculptural silhouettes, cascading layers of tulle, and refined tailoring. Delicate golden embroidery runs through the designs as a symbol of heritage, strength, and timeless elegance.
A palette of deep black, radiant red, and luminous ivory is illuminated with rich gold accents, transforming each look into a miniature couture statement. The collection was presented by models from the international production center BABYPHOTOSTARS, bringing youthful elegance and charisma to the runway. With Les Princes d’Or, AKEL Couture celebrates the magic of childhood through the language of haute couture — where every child is destined to shine like royalty.
ELSA FAIRY by IRYNA MYKYTIUK
ELSA FAIRY presented the couture collection FLEUR, an ode to the delicate strength and sculptural beauty of flowers. Inspired by the poetic transformation of petals in bloom, the collection reimagines floral forms through the language of haute couture. Voluminous silhouettes, cascading layers, and hand-crafted floral applications unfold like living blossoms, while oversized sculptural roses and intricate textures capture the organic rhythm of nature.
The palette moves through soft lavender, luminous pink, and ethereal blue tones, creating gowns that resemble couture bouquets — bold in volume yet refined in detail. Designer and founder Iryna Mykytiuk describes the collection as a tribute to feminine evolution: “A flower is both delicate and powerful. FLEUR is about growth, transformation, and quiet strength expressed through couture.”
NAZ MAER
NAZ MAER presented a collection dedicated to the timeless elegance of couture eveningwear. Sculptural silhouettes, luxurious fabrics, and intricate detailing define his signature style, transforming each piece into a statement of modern glamour. Flowing gowns, refined tailoring, and dramatic evening silhouettes reveal a vision of couture where elegance and confidence coexist in perfect harmony.
The collection highlighted NAZ MAER’s mastery of evening elegance — where every dress celebrates femininity, individuality, and the enduring allure of haute couture. Created for red carpet moments and grand occasions, the designs embody sophistication and glamour, capturing the spirit of contemporary Parisian couture.
KANON by YUNA HATTORI
KANON by designer Yuna Hattori presented collection where the spiritual heritage of Japan meets contemporary couture. The house reinterprets the timeless elegance of the kimono through sculptural silhouettes, refined draping, and architectural tailoring. At the heart of the collection lies the tanmono — untouched bolts of kimono fabric — rare textiles carrying the craftsmanship, time, and spirit of Japanese artisans. Through this process of cultural revival, KANON transforms traditional materials into modern couture creations.
Each design embodies a delicate balance of serenity and strength, where the structured form of the kimono merges with fluid movement and modern femininity. Presented during Paris Fashion Days at the iconic InterContinental Paris Le Grand, the collection reflects a dialogue between heritage and innovation — bringing the quiet poetry of Japanese craftsmanship to the global stage of Parisian couture.
KANON by Yuna Hattori was honored with the Paris Fashion Awards, receiving the title of Best Couture Designer. The recognition celebrates the designer’s exceptional craftsmanship and her unique ability to reinterpret the cultural heritage of Japan through the language of contemporary couture.
