Men’s Fashion Week A/W 2026 arrives this January with an eagerly anticipated schedule across Florence, Milan, and Paris. Following 2025, hailed as “fashion’s big reset,” the menswear calendar promises compelling moments that will define the season ahead. Despite being quieter than its womenswear counterpart, several standout presentations will capture industry attention.
Jonathan Anderson’s Second Act at Dior
The most talked-about show will undoubtedly be Jonathan Anderson’s sophomore menswear collection for Dior on January 20. After receiving critical acclaim for his debut last June, Anderson returns to showcase how he continues to reinvent the storied house’s menswear identity. This presentation stands out particularly because several major fashion houses—including Loewe, Balenciaga, and Lanvin—are notably absent from this season’s schedule.
Hermès’s Historic Transition
Equally significant is Véronique Nichanian’s farewell collection for Hermès on January 24. The legendary designer’s 37-year tenure at the French house concludes with her final show, celebrating a career marked by both commercial and critical success. Grace Wales Bonner, previously known for her Paris shows, will succeed Nichanian later this year, marking a new chapter for the brand’s menswear.
Beyond Paris, Florence hosts Pitti Uomo with guest designers including Hed Mayner and 2025 LVMH Prize winner Soshi Otsuki, while Milan welcomes returns from Paul Smith and Ralph Lauren alongside established powerhouses like Prada, Zegna, and Giorgio Armani. This January schedule promises a season of transitions, debuts, and memorable farewells.
