The fourth of October marked a monumental date in the history of Paris Fashion Week. Fashion designer Michael Lombard took over the capital of love with his stunning solo show at La Salle Wagram.
Music, models, and leather magic: with almost two thousand guests in attendance, Lombard’s Spring/Summer 2026 solo show was breathtaking and electrifying.
Just steps from the Arc de Triomphe, La Salle Wagram is a Parisian landmark known for hosting the city’s most influential performances.
Since its opening in 1965, this historical landmark has hosted a range of events, from Napoleonic celebrations to avant-garde art shows.
Most recently, La Salle Wagram was the background for Lombard’s boldest statement yet.
Pounding music, powerful silhouettes, and a persuasive vision. Michael Lombard’s return to Paris Fashion Week was nothing short of triumphant. The show opened with a special performance by French pop sensation Giorgio Besc, setting the stage for an unforgettable night.
Sculpted jackets and bold colours lit up the runway in an array of mixed materials. Originally known as the King of Leather, Michael Lombard has repeatedly mastered the balance between edge and sophistication, making him one of the most recognizable names in the fashion industry.
Celebrities were in attendance both in the crowd and on the runway, including Real Madrid soccer player Aurelien Tchouameni, R&B singer Mechie So Crazy, the COO of Astrazeneca, Renee Lacona, Dr. Yomi Martins and more.
Lombard’s ML Army (his devoted group of models that appear at every major show) commanded the runway with fierce walks and even fiercer outfits. Each accessory, hairstyle, and stylistic choice was carefully engineered by celebrity fashion designer Michael Lombard.
Amongst the models in his repertoire were Kenzie Blakeslee, Gladys Marin, Sara Buzdun, Andrea Jiménez, Dania Medina, Alexia Lugones, Viridiana Ramos, Eleisha Alcine, Tammy Tami Aligo, Sedova Heriknaz, Natalie Nouri, Victoria Henley, Danielle Moinet (former WWE superstar), Erika De Lans, Nata Fuebbi, Nadina Finica, Clifton Petite (reality TV star), Eric Wright, Clement Rudnicki, Michael Nevola, Andrea Miccio, Lanotte Simon, Arnua Visa, Luca B and, Ivan Romano.
With the support of Paris City Fashion Week, Ishika Chaudhary and Christian Aroule, Michael Lombard’s solo show was a total success.
Cindi Orellana, assistant to the celebrity fashion designer, also played an important role. Not only did Lombard demonstrate his flair for fashion, but he also brought his music to the runway.
Five original yet unreleased singles from the fashion designer turned the catwalk into a walking soundtrack.
When the designer doubles as the musician, fashion evolves further than the visual – it becomes visceral.
With more than sixty shows across the world, fashion designer Michael Lombard continues to redefine what it means to lead in the world of high fashion.
From his humble beginnings in leather craftsmanship to his show stopping solo debuts across the world, his empire has expanded beyond garments. Clothing, perfume, accessories, and music.
For Lombard, there’s no distinction between art and life – it’s all part of the show.
