Mugler and Loewe Define Autumn/Winter 2026-2027 Trends at Paris Fashion Week

Paris Fashion Week continues to showcase the defining looks for the Autumn/Winter 2026-2027 season, with Mugler and Loewe presenting collections that blend bold aesthetics and innovative materials. The shows highlight a return to confident, urban styles and a vibrant exploration of color and texture.

Mugler: Architectural Volumes and 80s Influence

Mugler’s Autumn/Winter 2026-2027 collection, presented by creative director Miguel Castro Freitas, draws inspiration from the 1980s and Art Deco design. The collection centers around a strong, confident woman, embodying an urban and sensual style. Architectural volumes and the “inverted cone” structure are key elements, manifested in laminated and iridescent midi dresses, sculpted jackets, and high-necked tunics featuring geometric patterns. See the Mugler Spring/Summer 2026 show for a preview of the design direction.

The collection also incorporates slim, tailored trousers with equestrian influences, paired with stiletto heels. Hourglass dresses with sinuous shapes and gothic details, such as deep necklines and spear-cut fabrics, are prominent. Strong color combinations, often accented with bright colored tights, add a modern edge. Jewelry inspired by Art Deco further enhances the creations.

Loewe: The Power of Color Blocking

Loewe’s Autumn/Winter 2026-2027 collection embraces a vibrant color palette, beginning with a striking bright yellow. Creative duo Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandes showcase their love for energetic hues on slip minidresses covered in rubbery textures, establishing silicone as a key material for the upcoming season.

Voluminous coats with oversized and rounded shapes, often adorned with fringes, are paired with short dresses. Parkas featuring layered hoods, bands, and inserts evoke medieval noblewomen’s attire, offering protection and style. A mix of bright shades – yellow, orange, light blue, and purple – is balanced with darker tones like brown and black, often combined with fluorescent leggings. White also plays a significant role.

Patterns, including florals and tartan, add visual interest. Floral turtlenecks are paired with corduroy jeans, while tartan dresses offer a more casual feel. Checkered prints reminiscent of Parisian brasseries adorn rounded tufts of fabric on classic coats. Color blocking remains a signature element of the designers’ work, showcased in hyper-voluminous scarves, flowing trains, and sweater/skirt combinations.
