Rabanne absent from the Paris SS27 calendar: Dossena out 24 June 2026 after 13 years, Rousteing named 14 July 2026 with a first show in March 2027
Eight months will separate Rousteing's naming on 14 July and his first Rabanne show in March, for autumn/winter 2027. The brand thanked Dossena on Instagram for his talent, vision and commitment; Puig's Ana Trias said he had profoundly shaped a new era for Rabanne.
Rousteing became Balmain's creative director in 2011, at 25.
