/ About this event

Saturday, October 17, 2026 — Downtown Los Angeles

Los Angeles Fashion Week returns to the Fashion District for two runway shows in one day.

4:00 PM and 7:00 PM. Two separate lineups. No designer walks twice, so the only way to see the full day is to attend both.

Between the shows: two industry panels. Made in LA — what it actually costs to manufacture in this city, who is still doing it, and what would have to change. Fashion & Finance — how capital looks at this industry, and what makes an emerging brand investable.

Across the day: a full working backstage beauty floor, and a rooftop VIP lounge with an open bar.

Who it's for Buyers, manufacturers, press, investors, designers and anyone who wants to see what is actually being made in Los Angeles right now — not a general-admission crowd.

About SFWRUNWAY We have placed 1,300 designers on a runway since 2016. Alumni have been featured on HBO's The Hype, Netflix's Next in Fashion, and Project Runway.

The cause All proceeds benefit Creators Connect, a Los Angeles nonprofit built on one idea: career access shouldn't depend on who you already know. It has served 879 young people through work-based learning and mentorship.

Tickets The Runway — $50, unreserved seating The Reserve — $80, reserved seat plus rooftop access
