Four new names to know as Paris Fashion Week opens for spring 2027
Paris has four new names to learn this week.
WWD, the American fashion trade publication, named Fidan Novruzova, Meruert Tolegen, Lucie Néouze and Adelina Bernard as its designers to watch for Paris Fashion Week spring 2027, in a list published on 29 September. WWD
Paris Fashion Week womenswear for spring/summer 2027 runs from Monday, 28 September to Tuesday, 6 October 2026, according to the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode, the Paris body that stages the official calendar. The federation, which decides who may call a collection couture, says it has published the final calendar for the season. Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode
Novruzova made the quickest entrance. She launched her namesake label in October 2020, was a semifinalist for the 2024 LVMH Prize, the young-designer award run by LVMH, the French luxury group behind Louis Vuitton and Dior, and was a finalist for the 2026 ANDAM Award, the French prize for emerging designers. She made her on-schedule debut in Paris on Monday, meaning her show was listed on the official calendar rather than held off schedule.
Her spring 2027 collection is called “occasional everyday dressing” and was informed by artist Mara Goldberg, WWD reported. The line-up includes a collaboration with Adidas, the German sportswear company, featuring triple shoelaces tied into a bow. That is a small detail with a large silhouette.
Tolegen brings a cross-continental story. Born in Kazakhstan and raised in New York, she was a semifinalist for the 2025 LVMH Prize. She is presenting her spring 2027 collection on Tuesday, 29 September at the Palais de Tokyo, the contemporary art museum in Paris, as part of the Sphere showroom, the support programme organised for young labels.
Néouze and Bernard complete the four, also named by WWD as designers to watch for the season. No further collection details were given for the pair in the published list.
What makes this stand out is the route in. Two prize shortlists, an official calendar slot and a museum showroom are practical steps. For fans, this means the next shows are easy to follow, even if the names are new.
