Paris Haute Couture Week closed with standout collections from Middle Eastern designers and a 27-year-old from Southeast Asia
Paris Haute Couture Week 2026 concluded on Thursday after four remarkable days of runway shows celebrating the pinnacle of creativity and craftsmanship. The final day featured standout collections from ASHI Studio, Phan Huy, and Dubai-based designer Rami Al Ali, an exquisite close that reaffirmed the city’s status as the epicentre of fashion.
ASHI Studio
Ashi Studio captivated Paris this season with a Spring/Summer 2026 couture collection that balanced stoic grace and sculptural power. Drawing on Victorian craftsmanship, designer Mohammed Ashi sculpted gowns into architectural forms, corseted yet fluid, intricate yet modern. The collection stood as a dialogue between timeless refinement and contemporary artistry, reaffirming the designer’s stature as one of couture’s quiet visionaries.




Phan Huy
Vietnamese designer Phan Huy made history as the first from his country to present at Paris Haute Couture Week. Inspired by the Vietnamese antique Canh Vang La Ngoc, the collection featured intricate gold embroidery, jade-inspired detailing, and refined craftsmanship rooted in the country’s heritage. Airy evening gowns in muslin and tulle moved down the runway, embellished with hand-stitched floral embroidery and delicate beadwork. The show closed with a stunning red dress worn by Canadian supermodel Coco Rocha.
At 27, Phan Huy was the youngest designer to present during Paris Haute Couture Week. He launched his label less than three years ago and has already fast-tracked into the big leagues of the world of couture, emerging as a name to watch.



Rami Al Ali
Dubai-based designer Rami Al Ali unveiled his Spring/Summer 2026 collection, Fragments in Harmony, with a show built around the idea of transformation. Inspired by the philosophy of 13th-century Persian poet Rumi, the collection followed a journey in which fragments were broken apart only to be purposefully reassembled.
Guided by movement, reconstruction and precision, Rami Al Ali explored the beauty that emerges when contrast becomes whole. Elongated silhouettes appeared cracked into mosaic-like patterns through broken-glass embroidery of metallic threads, beads and crystals, before being drawn back together with visible seams, layered lace organza and fluid overlays.
