Paris Fashion Week has officially rejected the minimalist dress code. From Julian Klausner’s quirky and ornate prints at Dries Van Noten to Michael Rider’s irreverent styling at Celine to Matthieu Blazy’s exuberant embellishments at Chanel, the joy of dressing is palpable in Paris. After years of disciplined, pared-back looks and reserved color palettes, the most influential designers have collectively decided that getting dressed should be fun again. That doesn’t mean we’re diving headfirst into costume pieces. Instead, the spring runways delivered a master class in high-impact design and styling that feels directional and fresh yet remarkably wearable.
Intricate embroidery, whimsical and romantic dresses, and saturated primary colors introduced a collective spirit of frivolity. Taken together, the collections suggest that the next chapter of fashion won’t be defined by one singular aesthetic. Instead, it’s about embracing clothes with personality and getting dressed in a way that feels joyful. From statement prints to maximalist designs to new takes on tailoring, these are the biggest runway trends to know from the spring/summer 2027 collections at Paris Fashion Week.
Girls Just Want to Have Fun
If there was one thing Paris made abundantly clear, it’s that fashion could stand to have a little more joy. Chanel, Loewe, and Dries Van Noten leaned into whimsical details that make dressing fun: unexpected embellishments, quirky color combinations, and playful textures. It’s maximalism with clothes that weren’t designed to blend into the background. After seasons of quiet luxury and pared-back dressing, a little frivolity feels downright refreshing.
