FHCM published the official Paris Spring/Summer 2028 show-order calendar this window, confirming the September 27-October 5, 2027 dates already reported in the 2027-09-06 report (signal_id pfw-ss28-calendar-confirmed) and opening on schedule the final day of this collection window. Vogue independently reported the published show order and opening-day lineup, corroborating FHCM's own release rather than adding new claims about content or direction of any single house's collection.

Index note: Logged as a logistics/calendar fact, consistent with how the NYFW SS28 schedule confirmation was handled in the 2027-09-20 report (signal_id nyfw-ss28-schedule-confirmed): no garment, silhouette, or aesthetic claim is made about any specific show from this signal alone. This report does not yet cover runway content, since the window closes on opening day itself.

Editor review: derive_confidence() adopted as-is: source_corroboration_count=2, source_sectors institutional+editorial are both real, mapped sectors in taxonomy.py's DOMAIN_SECTOR_MAP (fhcm.paris -> institutional, vogue.com -> editorial) -- no unclear-sector domain is being counted toward corroboration here, so there is no inflation to correct for and the derived 'high' tier is held.

Continuing the signal first tracked in the 2027-09-20 report (signal_id margiela-raw-edge-tailoring-preview), Dazed and Highsnobiety both published follow-up coverage of Glenn Martens' Maison Margiela ahead of its Paris slot later in this window's calendar, still keyed off the same house-released atelier imagery of raw, unfinished seam edges and exposed tailoring canvas. Separately, Who What Wear ran a market-week preview piece citing unnamed wholesale buyers describing the raw-edge tailoring as a detail they are 'watching closely' ahead of Paris showroom appointments -- explicitly anticipatory buyer interest, not a reported order or confirmed retail buy.

Index note: Origin classification remains designer_originated: the underlying imagery still originates from the house's own atelier release, and no actual retail buy, stocking decision, or social amplification has been observed. The Who What Wear item is retail-sector commentary about anticipated interest, not evidence of retail_adopted status -- keeping designer intent, editorial interpretation, and retail anticipation distinct rather than collapsing 'buyers are watching' into 'buyers are adopting.'

Editor review: Unlike the 2027-09-20 report -- which held this same signal_id at medium because two of its four corroborating domains (papermag.com, thefashionlaw.com) fell outside taxonomy.py's DOMAIN_SECTOR_MAP as 'unclear' -- this window's three corroborating domains (dazeddigital.com, highsnobiety.com, whowhatwear.com) are all real, mapped sectors (editorial, editorial, retail), giving two genuinely distinct mapped sectors. derive_confidence()'s 'high' tier is adopted as-is because there is no unclear-sector domain being counted toward this corroboration; the standing discipline is to hold confidence below the derived tier only when an 'unclear' domain is doing the work of a second sector, which is not the case here. This confidence increase describes reporting diversity, not a change in origin_classification or an actual retail adoption event -- see index_note.
