Expect to see to the whole spectrum of wear, from ready-to-wear collections to haute couture pieces. But that’s not all. The excitement extends beyond the runway, with a packed schedule of exclusive presentations, private dinners, and collection launches hosted by global brands and industry leaders throughout the week. Look forward to exclusive showcases by guest designers as well.

What’s new this year?

This year, say hello to the Buyer’s Programme. This initiative has been designed to bring the designers into the spotlight, uplift them and give them an international audience by bridging the gap between innovative talent and global buyers. Buyers and retailers have been invited from around the world to participate in this network.

Within the programme, participants will get direct access to a curated selection of talent, collections and exclusive sourcing opportunities. It’s a great way to build connections in the industry and expose oneself to the new markets. Designers interested in joining the Buyer’s Programme can apply online until December 22, 2024. Selected designers will then be notified in early January 2025.
