Paris couture week occurs as US tariffs threaten prices

Paris Couture Week will showcase designer debuts and departures, while looming tariffs from the US government threaten to raise fashion prices. Demna's final Balenciaga show and Glenn Martens' Margiela debut are highlights, as President Trump's tariffs on fashion manufacturing hubs are set to take effect on July 9th. Trade deals with key countries are still being negotiated. The fashion industry is adapting by using bonded warehouses and adjusting designs to mitigate potential tariff impacts, with some brands already increasing prices.
