March was Paris Fashion Week’s fall season, and it kept turning into a music story. A K-pop star sat front row at Saint Laurent, a London producer scored Off-White in five days, and a Puerto Rican rapper turned a hit into a campaign. The week also brought a designer debut and, later in the month, a designer exit. Here are the seven moments worth remembering, in the order they happened.
March 3: Dior Plants a Garden in the Tuileries
Jonathan Anderson’s second womenswear collection for Dior sent models down a wooden deck over a pond of floating lily pads, in ruffled minis with trailing trains that The Zoe Report said looked like “a blooming flower shedding petals.” The Kelly-green tweed coat over a yellow tulip-trim dress was the look people kept pointing to. Anderson told Bella Freud in an interview Dior posted ahead of the show, “For me, this is Paris, and I will always feel like a tourist in Paris.” Anya Taylor-Joy arrived holding a single rose, Charlize Theron and Alexa Chung sat front row, and the singer EJAE, a Dior ambassador since December, wore a plaid vest and baggy trousers.
March 3: Rosé and Zoë Kravitz Dress Down for Saint Laurent
Saint Laurent’s night show ran beneath the Eiffel Tower. BLACKPINK’s Rosé, a longtime ambassador, wore a neon yellow-green off-shoulder minidress in embossed brocade, which Kbizoom called more refined than her last Paris outing. Zoë Kravitz, who only attends when Saint Laurent invites her, made her first fashion show appearance since September 2025 and “swapped out her favorite lacy slip dresses for modest, chocolate brown selects,” per Marie Claire. Kate Moss and the DJ Peggy Gou were in the room too.
March 4: Antonin Tron Debuts at Balmain
After Olivier Rousteing’s 14 years, Balmain’s new creative director swapped flash for what he called “minimal opulence.” W described a warehouse hung with cloud-like white curtains and a Parisian uniform of black leather, olive and chartreuse gowns and zebra and tiger prints, the last drawn from a photograph of Pierre Balmain’s apartment. “The very important thing for me was to establish an emotional connection with the house,” Tron said backstage. Naomi Watts watched from the front.
March 5: Off-White Becomes a Miles Davis Record
Ib Kamara’s Fall/Winter 2026 show filled a Paris schoolyard with green spheres and Miles Davis references, made with the trumpeter’s estate, and a score written by tendai in five days at London’s Church Studios. The producer released it afterward as the EP Ms. Davis. Full story.
March 9: Chanel Builds a Construction Site
Matthieu Blazy’s second ready-to-wear show for Chanel put cranes on a holographic floor in the Grand Palais, pulled waistlines down to the thigh and closed on Lady Gaga’s “Just Dance.” Jennie, Teyana Taylor and Olivia Dean sat with Margot Robbie, Oprah and Kylie Minogue. Full story.
March 10: Young Miko Turns “Wassup” Into a Gap Campaign
Gap’s spring campaign is a music video that reimagines the Puerto Rican rapper’s 2025 single, with 26 dancers, direction by Bethany Vargas and choreography by Zoi Tatopoulos. “Puerto Rico influences everything I do — the way I talk, express myself, dress, live, and see the world,” Young Miko said in press materials, per Complex. Complex described the partnership as a celebration of Latin music as a global force.
March 24 and 30: Courrèges Swaps Designers in a Week
Nicolas Di Felice, the creative director who put Courrèges on Beyoncé’s stage and in front of Dua Lipa and Hailey Bieber, left after five years to “focus on personal projects.” Six days later, industry reports named Drew Henry, a Phoebe Philo collaborator who most recently ran runway design at Burberry, as his successor from May 6.
