Paris Fashion Week has arrived, meaning shows and presentations from the best French maisons in addition to plenty of other exciting happenings you'll want to catch while in the city of light (or living vicariously).

Paris Fashion Week is here, so if you&#39;ve been waiting all month to see French houses like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/saint-laurent-fall-2020-runway-show-stream-live">Saint Laurent</a>, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/chanel-haute-couture-spring-2020-runway-show">Chanel</a>, and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/louis-vuitton-spring-2020">Louis Vuitton</a> show their latest wares, you&#39;re in luck. But in the craziness of the next week, which is longer than New York, London, and Milan while still being just as jam-packed, it can be hard to remember what&#39;s newsworthy or know what you need to check out in between shows. to help with this, we&#39;ve rounded up what to see and do&nbsp;this Paris Fashion Week, from creative director debuts to exhibitions that conveniently open when the entire fashion crowd is gathered in the French capital. Whether you are in Paris or want to know what to keep your eye on while at home, see eight highlights below.

Felipe Oliveira Baptista&#39;s debut at Kenzo

After Carol Lim and Humberto Leon announced they were leaving LVMH house Kenzo, Franco-Portuguese designer Felipe Oliveira Baptista was appointed the new creative director in July 2019. After nearly eight months of waiting, we&#39;ll finally see the designer&#39;s debut on&nbsp;Wednesday, February 26, in what&#39;s sure to be a much-talked-about moment as Baptista has garnered significant industry acclaim. In 2002, he won the grand prize of the Hy&egrave;res Fashion Festival, and after launching his own label in 2003, the designer soon received an ANDAM fashion award, as well as financial support from LVMH and Beams. While <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/tags/kenzo">Kenzo</a> has unveiled a new logo, the world is still eagerly anticipating what the pieces themselves might look like. We bet that Baptista&#39;s vision will align with his aesthetic: a desirable contemporary concept that&#39;s&nbsp;sassy, cheerful, and attentive to both sustainability and inclusivity. If his debut proves to hold these qualities, that seems like a modern moment&nbsp;worth celebrating.

Watch the Chlo&eacute; show closely

The <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/chloe-spring-2019">Chlo&eacute;</a> show is always a highlight&nbsp;during Paris Fashion Week, and this season is especially worth paying attention to, as the fashion rumor mill is thinking it could be&nbsp;Natacha Ramsay-Levi&#39;s last show. The French house has denied the this, but a lot of changes have been happening&nbsp;since last December&#39;s&nbsp;arrival of&nbsp;new CEO Riccardo Bellini, who came from Maison Margiela. So what direction&nbsp;is the French fashion house going next? And what does the future hold for Ramsay-Levi, who since April 2017 has&nbsp;created an uncompromising, strong vision for Chlo&eacute;, that&#39;s always seemed connected with the desires of the modern woman? We&#39;ll have to wait and see.

See LVMH Prize winner Thebe Magugu&#39;s Paris Fashion Week debut

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/lvmh-prize-winner-2019">Thebe Magugu</a>&nbsp;is an exciting new force: back in September, the South African designer won the LVMH prize in a competition that started with 1,700 hopefuls, becoming the first African winner ever all while being&nbsp;the year&#39;s youngest candidate at 26 years old. Originally&nbsp;from the city of Kimberley, but based in Johannesburg, Magugu launched his ready-to-wear brand in 2015 and wants to share his country&#39;s craft through his work. His label, which plays on mixing materials,&nbsp;has already won over some&nbsp;big names in the fashion world: Maria Grazia Chiuri, the artistic director of Dior womenswear, and&nbsp;Delphine Arnault, executive vice president of Louis Vuitton, are among fans. Magugu is coming to Paris for his latest presentation, happening on&nbsp;Tuesday, February 25 at the Palais de Tokyo.

Check out the new Betty Catroux exhibition at Mus&eacute;e Yves Saint Laurent Paris

Muse and partner in crime&nbsp;of Yves Saint Laurent, Betty Catroux is a true style icon. Mus&eacute;e Yves Saint Laurent Paris presents an exhibition that explores the model&#39;s style and personality, featuring several pieces donated from Catroux herself.&nbsp;Whether jumpsuit,, tuxedo, or trench coat, the featured looks are a testament&nbsp;to the aesthetic proximity between Catroux and Saint Laurent, especially&nbsp;their common love for androgyny, which has become the house&#39;s signature. Personal photographs and documents enrich everything. Anthony Vaccarello, the house&#39;s current creative director, was invited to select the pieces.

&quot;Betty Catroux-Yves Saint Laurent- F&eacute;minin Singulier&quot;&nbsp;will be open from March 3 to October 11, 2020.

Xuly .B&euml;t&#39;s return to Paris Fashion Week

Whether you know the name or not, Xuly&nbsp;.B&euml;t was one of the most innovative brands of the &#39;90s, championing <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/tags/sustainability">sustainability</a> and diversity long before it was popular all while crafting covetable street glam creations. While designer Lamine Badian Kouyat&eacute; has continued the exciting work on his label ever since, he&#39;s been a bit under the radar, but rest assured the brand is making a comeback on the Parisian scene. Registered on the F&eacute;deration de la Haute Couture et de la Mode&#39;s presentation calendar, the label&#39;s latest collection will premiere on Monday, March 2.
