Ready To Wear: Moda Productions Illuminates Paris Fashion Week With Strength and Style

On October 3rd, Moda Productions stood at the center of Paris Fashion Week. Inside the Hôtel de Maisons, a full house of buyers, press, and guests experienced presentations shaped by the Moda team from first light cue to final walk. Moda engineered front-of-house calm while the engines ran hot backstage, so the story on the runway stayed clear. The result was a cohesive statement of modern fashion where each designer’s language was honored and amplified.

“As a team, we care about each designer as an individual,” said Tracy, Founder and CEO of Moda Productions. “We listen, we translate the vision into space, light, sound, and flow, and we stay with it until the idea is alive in the room. When designers feel protected and understood, the clothes speak for themselves.”

SAGIO by Alexander Sagio 

Alexander Sagio’s SS26 debut in Paris read like a lesson in line and proportion. He treated the body as architecture in motion, resolving geometry and negative space with quiet nerve. Jackets held a measured shoulder, waists were drawn with intent, and hems cut the air with poise. The clothes didn’t announce themselves; they accumulated presence — first as clarity, then as charge. Surfaces stayed calm so construction could speak, and movement finished the design. What emerged was a wardrobe for today’s power: lucid, intimate, and built to linger in memory. Sagio arrived not with volume but with voltage, proving that precision can be sensual and that the sharpest statement is sometimes the most serene.

Jeevan by Hussain Rehar 

Paris, PFW SS26 — Jeevan’s first Paris outing arrived with the snap of couture discipline and the ease of a modern wardrobe. The clothes were built, not styled: shoulders sculpted to lift the frame, waists drawn clean, lengths calibrated to slice rather than skim. Embellishment appeared as fine calibration — beadwork and threadwork that caught the light in measured flashes — giving each look a quiet voltage without tipping into costume. The palette stayed intentional, letting construction and finish do the talking. Founded in 2024, Jeevan distills Hussain Rehar’s couture experience into ready-to-wear that feels globally fluent and genuinely luxurious. It is the kind of collection buyers can place and clients can live in — boardroom to red carpet without a change of vocabulary. A confident debut with follow-through written all over it.

Paris, PFW SS26. Alersundi’s eveningwear arrived with the assurance of a house that knows its craft. Gowns caught the light cleanly, draping to honor the body’s natural architecture and holding their line under the chandeliers. Behind the polish is founder Alejandra Lersundi, a Tampico-born designer with training in Monterrey, Barcelona, and Milan, and a résumé that spans New York Fashion Week and major award carpets. Seventeen years into the brand, Alersundi’s language is consistent and desired in Mexico and abroad: silhouettes that fit, textures that converse, sparkle that feels modern. Clients from Thalía to Leona Lewis have worn the vision, and Paris extended the conversation to a global room. The message landed. Refinement and confidence lead here, and AW26 cannot arrive soon enough.

MAZINI by Maria Mazina 

Maria Mazina’s Paris debut felt personal because it is. A former law professor from Ukraine who saw how few options existed for women who needed sharp, well-fitted suits, she built MAZINI to answer that need and never looked back. She left academia, retrained in fashion, and with her husband grew a small family venture into a skilled atelier led day to day by brand director Tatiana Prosnitskaya. Through covid and war, the team kept creating. The result is tailoring with soft steel, clothes that carry poise without stiffness, and a practice that honors natural fabrics, handwork, and the quiet power of getting the fit right.

In Paris, MAZINI marked its tenth anniversary with a white to red edit that became the talk of the week. Clean lines and deliberate proportions moved from porcelain white to deep crimson, reading as power and purity, passion and control. Each look felt considered for real life, from boardroom to spotlight, and the make held up both on camera and up close. It was a statement of who Maria is and why she designs: to give modern, ambitious women a wardrobe that strengthens their voice. Paris noticed. AW26 cannot come soon enough.

Aleen Sabbagh 

Paris, October 3, 2025. Aleen Sabbagh’s Paris Fashion Week debut felt personal and precise. Couture made with care, where technique serves feeling. Up close the handwork is intimate; in the room the pieces carry quiet presence. These are garments meant to be cherished, not just worn once. Founded by sisters Aleen and Natalie Sabbagh in Beirut, the house joins craft with conscience, supporting artisans and treating sustainability as part of design. At Hôtel de Maisons, the SS26 presentation showed that philosophy clearly. Lines were refined, surfaces thoughtfully worked, and movement gentle but assured. You felt the sisters’ point of view throughout, from the fit to the finishing, and the sense that these are garments meant to live beyond a season.

  • “Every piece is a conversation between what we love and what we value,” said Aleen Sabbagh.

Moda Productions added, “Aleen’s debut represents exactly the kind of artistry we believe should be spotlighted on the global stage,” said Tracy.

MOLMAUNI x Nuki Cosmetics 

For Teo, founder and creative director of MOLMAUNI, this Paris presentation was never meant to be a traditional runway — it was a statement of purpose. “I wanted to create something with more depth and connection,” she shared, and that intention shaped every detail of the evening. The show unfolded as an emotional journey rather than a spectacle — sculptural, fluid silhouettes meeting a radiant, human kind of beauty. Renowned Georgian brand Nuki Cosmetics was invited to collaborate, not as a supporting act but as an integral part of the vision and story telling. Together, they created a dialogue between fashion and skin, strength and softness, individuality and unity. The result was profoundly personal — a MOLMAUNI x Nuki Cosmetics moment that felt less like performance and more like presence.

RAXXY by William Shen

William Shen’s Paris debut felt like watching a new language form in real time. RAXXY turned down into architecture, building garments from modular, 3D blocks that move with buoyant intent. The technique — developed from Shen’s lifelong relationship with mathematics and refined into a patent-protected system — reads as sculpture first, outerwear second. Volumes lock and release, planes catch light, and proportions recalibrate with motion. It is engineering you can feel, animated by warmth and wit, and finished to a couture standard on the runway.

Shen’s path explains the precision. A math prodigy who chose fashion, he treats seam and module like theorem and proof, replacing print or embroidery with structure itself. Earlier chapters — from Shanghai’s launch to a headline-making Great Wall presentation — laid the groundwork; Paris made the case. RAXXY isn’t novelty, it’s a platform: geometric silhouettes, sequential builds, and a future-forward way of making that blends durability, wearability, and art. The result was unforgettable — outerwear as living form, designed for a global audience and ready to move from the runway into culture. AW26 now has a very high bar.

Ragged Romances — “A World Within”

Ragged Romances brings bridal that feels alive. Founder and creative director Rosii Nguyen turned a personal revelation into a label that designs moments, not just dresses. In Paris, the presentation read playful and glamorous rather than heavy or expected. Layered sheers, buoyant tulle, and color-lit accents caught light and air at every step. Imperfection became poetry. Craft met freedom. Brides looked like themselves.

The collection, A World Within, opens the private landscape each bride carries and invites another soul inside. Color leads the story, with tender tones beside saturated hues to mirror resilience and joy. Sheer layering reveals quiet details, soft draping and fine patchwork weave separate stories into one, and unexpected combinations break with tradition while honoring it. Made with care for people and process, the work feels intimate up close and radiant in the room. Paris felt the shift. Ragged Romances is here to stay.

Beauty Direction

Hair Team @Fashion_4Futures x @fffashionweekhair, led by Juan Lino was the definition of pressure proof. His team absorbed last-minute changes, swapped proportions, and rebuilt finishes in minutes, all while presenting an exterior so calm it translated seamlessly. Backstage was full chaos. On stage it read as ease. Every model hit the runway aligned to the designer’s vision because Lino and his crew made the storm invisible. That is the mark of true professionals.

Makeup Team, led by Michelle Webb, delivered precision under pressure. Her team adjusted palettes on the fly, tuned highlights and shadow, and refined edges in seconds so faces stayed camera-true from first look to finale. Complex pivots stayed offstage. What guests saw was coherent, luminous skin and definition that matched each designer’s brief. Michelle’s leadership kept the finish elevated and the focus on the clothes — calm on the surface, mastery underneath.

With Juan Lino, Michelle Webb, and their teams, the result was beauty that protected the narrative. Fast decisions. Clean execution. Every change served the designer’s vision and every model hit the runway unified with the collection.
