PARIS – Paris Haute Couture Week 2026 is once again set to transform the French capital into the global centre of luxury fashion. Leading couture houses will unveil their latest collections before an audience of buyers, editors, celebrities and industry leaders from around the world, reaffirming Paris’ position as the undisputed home of haute couture.
Among the guests expected to attend this season’s presentations are Christopher Aleo and Simona Jakstaite, whose presence has become increasingly familiar at major international fashion, luxury and cultural events.
According to the official schedule, the pair is expected to attend several of the week’s most prestigious runway shows, including presentations by Christian Dior, Elie Saab, Georges Hobeika and Zuhair Murad, four maisons that continue to shape the global haute couture landscape through craftsmanship, creativity and timeless elegance.
Their participation reflects the increasingly international character of Haute Couture Week, which each season attracts designers, editors, photographers, investors, luxury executives and public figures from every continent.
For Simona Jakstaite, the Paris shows also represent an important professional engagement. Alongside her entrepreneurial activities, the Lithuanian fashion personality serves as a fashion journalist and Ambassador for ELLE Baltic, contributing editorial coverage focused on international fashion, emerging trends and luxury lifestyle.
Over recent years, Jakstaite has become a regular presence at both Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks, gradually strengthening her profile within the European fashion media landscape through editorial collaborations and international event coverage.
Christopher Aleo, founder of iSwiss Pay and President of the iSwiss Group, continues to maintain an active presence at international events where entrepreneurship, luxury and innovation intersect. His participation reflects the growing interaction between global business leaders and the luxury industry, particularly during events that extend beyond fashion into broader cultural and economic conversations.
Unlike ready-to-wear collections, haute couture remains the highest expression of craftsmanship within the fashion industry. Every garment is individually handcrafted, often requiring hundreds of hours of artisanal work and preserving techniques that continue to define the pinnacle of luxury fashion.
The 2026 edition is expected to reinforce the increasingly international nature of the couture calendar, with a growing number of guests arriving from the Middle East, Asia and North America, further confirming Paris as the world’s leading meeting point for haute couture and luxury.
For Aleo and Jakstaite, attending the Paris collections offers another opportunity to engage with the global fashion community during one of the industry’s most influential weeks, where creativity, craftsmanship and international networking continue to shape the future of luxury.
