Welcome to GUESS’s Paris Fashion Week. Special guest? Leonie Hanne, who celebrated her collaboration with the brand last night at an event at the Baronne, a restaurant and hotel personally chosen by Leonie as the setting for the evening. A venue exuding quintessential Parisian elegance, it hosted GUESS’s glamour for one night, along with an international lineup of talents and leading figures from the fashion world, including Amy Jackson, Jihoon Kim, Amelia and Eliza Spencer, Marta Diaz, Ginevra Mavilla, and Iris Mittenaere.
The evening began with the presentation of the capsule collection in a dedicated showroom, where guests were able to get an up-close look at some of the collection’s outfits and accessories, followed by a seated dinner. Leonie personally embodied the collaboration with a head-to-toe burgundy ensemble consisting of a flowing silk bodysuit, a crocodile-effect pencil skirt, and a matching bag: an ensemble that alternates between soft textures and more structured silhouettes, foreshadowing some of the contrasts around which the capsule collection is built.
The GUESS x Leonie Hanne Collection
The highlight of the evening was the GUESS x Leonie Hanne Fall/Winter 2026 capsule collection, built around a play of contrasts between structured silhouettes and more sensual details. Outerwear plays a central role, ranging from the burgundy trench coat with a crocodile print to black coats with architectural lines, all the way to oversized leather biker jackets with funnel necks and slim belts.
These are complemented by draped tops, lingerie-inspired details, and a flowing evening gown, thus alternating between more structured pieces and soft, lightweight elements. The more structured pieces are paired with stretch cashmere sweaters and lace skirts, in a wardrobe that shifts from power dressing to a more delicate femininity without drawing overly rigid boundaries between the two styles.
The collaboration also extends to accessories, featuring pouches in crocodile-print and suede, sculptural clutches with gold accents, open-toe mules, and stiletto-heeled pumps in leather, suede, and patent leather. Rounding out the collection are several eyewear styles designed specifically for the capsule collection and a selection of jewelry made in Italy, including bangles and earrings featuring smoky crystals, multifaceted cuts, and fluid shapes.
“This collaboration means a great deal to me,” says Leonie Hanne. “We worked together to create a truly special capsule collection of fall essentials that every woman can incorporate into her wardrobe with creativity and confidence. We wanted to offer sophisticated yet easy-to-wear styles that combine the strength of power dressing with the sensuality of soft, delicate layering.”
