By the way, how many Fashion Weeks are there per year?

If you have trouble finding your way in all these fashion shows, men's, women's, ready-to-wear and Couture, we'll explain.

How does Fashion Week work? With each new season it starts again, fashion weeks follow one another and the general public no longer understands anything. And for good reason, it takes place, city after city, from Paris to Milan via New York and London. This intertwines seasons and genres. For men, for women, for Autumn/Winter, for Spring/Summer, for Couture. In other words, a succession of information that is sometimes difficult to understand. We summarize below how it all works and is articulated with an order that can sometimes be jostled according to changes in the fashion institutions governing each Fashion Week.

Two key seasons

What should be remembered is that there are actually two great times in the year, from January to March when the Autumn/Winter collections are presented, then from June to September when the Spring/Summer collections are presented. are in the spotlight. Added to this is what is called Resort/Cruise fashion shows but also Couture. The brands present at this precise moment what we can define as capsule collections. It should be noted that some houses have now opted for mixed parades in order to reduce costs but also their impact on the environment. What sow even more confusion and give the impression that it never stops. The other data that adds to the excitement of Fashion Week are the shows organized on the sidelines of the official calendar.

Because yes, there is an official calendar established by the fashion authorities, the FHCM in France for example (Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode). These institutions validate brands that meet all the criteria to access the holy grail. “You just need to show proof of a legal structure, of at least one collection sold, of a new wardrobe that would not only be made up of accessories, swimsuits or wedding dresses, and to testify to a wish to register for the long term on the calendar”, explained HYPEBEAST France who had spoken with a spokesperson for the Federation to understand how a brand could apply for the official calendar.

It should also be noted that Pitti Uomo, which is a trade show, precedes Milan Fashion Week. We haven't put it in the calendar below which dates from 2018 but which will give you an overview of how it all fits together. Also note that with the Covid, fashion is reviewing its temporality, fewer shows, some Fashion Weeks have also lost their shine, like London for example, while Dubai is trying to find a place for itself in this calendar of the fashion.
