Montreal Fashion Week 2026 is a vibrant celebration of Montréal's local fashion industry, bringing together designers, creators, workshops, retailers, institutions and fashion enthusiasts to showcase the creativity and energy shaping the city's fashion scene. Taking place from September 21 to 27, 2026, the event offers a week-long program of fashion shows, exhibitions, workshops, pop-up shops, networking opportunities, conferences and special events throughout Montréal.
More than a traditional fashion week centered around a single runway, Montreal Fashion Week highlights the entire local fashion ecosystem. Visitors can discover emerging and established designers, explore local brands, learn more about the creative process and connect with the people who design, produce and promote fashion in Québec. The program also puts a strong emphasis on local talent and encourages the public to support Montréal and Québec fashion.
The 2026 program features a diverse selection of activities, including fashion shows, clothing swaps, sustainable fashion initiatives, exhibitions, guided tours, shopping events, workshops, networking activities and discussions about the future of the industry. Several events also explore themes such as circular fashion, sustainability, craftsmanship and the evolution of Montréal's fashion culture.
Among the highlights is the Afro and Indigenous Fashion Night at the McCord Stewart Museum, where local designers draw inspiration from their cultural heritage to create contemporary fashion. The evening combines a fashion show, panel discussion, designers' market and music, offering visitors an opportunity to explore the connections between cultural heritage, creativity and fashion.
The week concludes with a special closing night bringing together fashion, performance and music. The event takes audiences through the different stages of creating a garment, from the initial sketch to its presentation to the public, followed by fashion shows and a celebratory evening.
Whether you're passionate about fashion, interested in discovering local designers or simply curious about Montréal's creative scene, Montreal Fashion Week offers a chance to experience fashion beyond the runway and discover the people, ideas and craftsmanship that make Montréal's fashion industry unique.
