VENICE FASHION WEEK 2026

Venice Fashion Week returns to Venice from October 19 to 24, 2026, showcasing the new protagonists of ethical and sustainable Made in Italy fashion. Now in its thirteenth edition, the event confirms its role as a key platform for those who see fashion as a space for culture, innovation, and responsibility. Created by Venezia da Vivere, Venice Fashion Week unfolds across historic palaces, ateliers, galleries, and hotels in the city, intertwining contemporary fashion, craftsmanship, and sustainable practices.
The twelfth edition involved over 120 participants, including designers, brands, artisans, schools, foundations, and institutions, with a program of exhibitions, presentations, and workshops focused on dialogue between creativity, education, and research. Highlights included a public conversation with Dries Van Noten at the Giardini Reali, a show celebrating 150 years of Tessitura Luigi Bevilacqua, international presentations of emerging designers, and Jacopo Ascari’s Venetian Glamour exhibition. Alongside the public program, a training project engaged students from ITS Marco Polo Academy in the organization and installation of exhibitions and events.
Having also entered the international fiction scene through its appearance in the fifth season of Emily in Paris, the 2026 edition of Venice Fashion Week once again positions itself as a creative hub to discover emerging talents, engage with artisans and designers, and experience Venice as a living laboratory for sustainable fashion.
