THE WORLDWIDE GUIDE · LIKE® FASHION
FASHION
The world's fashion houses — who owns them, who designs them, what they sell, and where their flagship boutiques stand. LIKE® Fashion opens its worldwide coverage with the houses themselves, verified name by name at the moment the creative-director chair has never mattered more.
THE GUIDE
THE WORLDWIDE GUIDE · OCTOBER 2026
THE WORLD'S FASHION HOUSES
43 houses — from Chanel, Dior and Hermès to Jacquemus, The Row and Sacai — with every house's parent group, its creative director verified to October 2026, its named flagship boutiques and its published network total where one exists. The three vacant chairs are printed as vacant; the gaps are named, never padded.
THE CALENDAR
THE WORLDWIDE GUIDE · OCTOBER 2026
THE WORLD'S FASHION WEEKS
28 entries in 20 countries, plus the resort & cruise circuit — the Big Four, the men's and specialist circuits, and the growth weeks of Copenhagen, Seoul and Lagos — each with its governing body, its leadership verified to October 2026 (the BFC changed its chair on 1 October 2026), its calendar posture, its venues, and how a designer is admitted to the official calendar. The gaps are named, never padded.

THE CREATIVE-DIRECTOR CHAIR
The 2024–26 turnover wave put new designers in the great chairs of Paris and Milan — and left two of the greatest empty. What a creative director actually performs on is not a runway. It is a network of boutiques.
