In the heart of winter, Paris pulsates to the rhythm of fashion shows. In January 2026, the capital hosts two major events: Men's Fashion Week from Tuesday 20 to Sunday 25, followed by Haute Couture Fashion Week from Monday 26 to Thursday 29. Between short days, biting cold, and a tight schedule, the Hotel R de Paris becomes your elegant haven in the heart of the 9th arrondissement, just minutes from key locations.

Dates & The must-see houses

Menswear (January 20–25): focus on Louis Vuitton (the Pharrell Williams era), AMI Paris (the chic of Alexandre Mattiussi), Hermès (timeless elegance), and Rick Owens (avant-garde).

Haute Couture (January 26–29): Dior and Chanel lead the way, Schiaparelli often opens the show, and Jean Paul Gaultier creates a buzz with his guest designers.

Two weeks where Paris reaffirms its status as the fashion capital.

Ideal backstage : the 9th arrondissement, between Opéra, Bourse, and Vendôme

From the hotel, reach the iconic Palais Garnier (Opéra) in approximately 10 minutes on foot, the Palais Brongniart (Bourse) in approximately 15 minutes, a renowned venue for trade shows like Tranoï, and the Place Vendôme in approximately 15 minutes for High Jewelry. The Grands Magasins (Haussmann) department stores are right next door, perfect for post-show scouting. This proximity reduces travel time and fatigue, allowing you to alternate between meetings, showrooms, and quick trips back to your base.

The break that changes everything: well-being & Logistics After running around Paris in heels or sneakers, it's time for a Fashion Detox: sauna and hammam in the fitness & spa area, lounge bar to unwind. The nearby Saint-Lazare train station makes arrivals easy, and lines 3/12/13/14 will quickly take you to event venues (Grand Palais, Palais de Tokyo). In the evening, head to SoPi (South Pigalle) for trendy restaurants just steps away.
