Paris Haute Couture Week begins long before the first presentation of the day. Beyond the runway, the season is defined by quiet moments of preparation, the anticipation of stepping into a Maison’s world, and the rituals that surround one of fashion’s most celebrated weeks.
As I prepared for a day with Schiaparelli during Paris Haute Couture Week, the historic interiors of Le Meurice provided the setting for the morning’s editorial portraits. Wearing Schiaparelli by Creative Director Daniel Roseberry, these moments became part of the experience itself—capturing the elegance, craftsmanship, and atmosphere that define couture beyond the collection alone.

Haute Couture Week is defined not only by the collections unveiled on the runway but also by the moments that lead to them. Preparing for the day at Le Meurice offered an opportunity to slow the pace before stepping into one of fashion’s most anticipated weeks, where every maison contributes its own vision to the future of couture. Wearing Schiaparelli by Daniel Roseberry underscored the House’s continued dialogue between heritage and innovation, where sculptural design, exceptional craftsmanship, and artistic expression remain central to its identity. Those quiet moments before the day’s first presentation became a reminder that, during Haute Couture Week, the experience begins long before the runway.
