The countdown has begun for the most important fashion event of 2024, Bucharest Fashion Week 2024. It will be held on October 16-17 and will transform the center of Bucharest into a vibrant, globally significant fashion runway. Bucharest Fashion Week places Romanian fashion design on the same stage as the trendsetting capitals: Milan, Paris, London, and New York.
Bucharest Fashion Week aims to connect designers, buyers, local and international press, external manufacturers, and academic figures in the field in a unique artistic event organized to the highest international standards.
Bucharest Fashion Week will be a cultural and artistic phenomenon that, with the support of state institutions from home and abroad, will propel and promote Romanian designers, making ‘Made in Romania’ an internationally appreciated label. The event focuses on promoting Romanian fashion creators, but it is also an opportunity for emerging talents or top designers from the region, thus representing a connection between Eastern Europe and the rest of the continent.
Moreover, the event will bring together an impressive community of professionals, fashion designers, buyers, celebrities, influencers, bloggers, fashion editors, journalists, PR representatives and the media, stylists, photographers, videographers, makeup artists, hairstylists, and fashion enthusiasts. With the presence of exceptional international guests, world-renowned journalists, and university professors from Europe, Bucharest Fashion Week will be a landmark in art, culture, and tourism for Romania.
The event focuses on 3 main pillars:
Runway Fashion Shows: Renowned designers from Romania and Eastern Europe will reveal their latest collections in the presence of a live audience. The shows will take place in both historical buildings and unconventional spaces, building a fashion district in the capital’s center, which includes numerous renowned locations.
Among the top Romanian designers who will present are Maria Lucia Hohan, SeenUsers, Rhea Costa, Almaz, Murmur, Manuri, and many others.
With the aim of becoming a landmark for fashion in Eastern Europe, the event will invite a series of stylists and designers from Ukraine, Moldova, and Poland.
Education: The International Italian School of Bucharest and UNARTE in Bucharest will host a series of ‘FashionTalks,’ including workshops, seminars, and panels with local and international speakers. It will also be a perfect opportunity for young talents to participate in workshops and masterclasses held by guests from top international fashion schools.
Trade: With the support of institutions from home and abroad, conferences dedicated to operators in the fashion industry will be organized on business or trade topics, with exceptional international guests as speakers. Thus, the event becomes a networking hub.
These are not the only opportunities within the event. Bucharest Fashion Week will have various points called Fashion Hubs, where static collections exhibitions will be presented, there will be backstages dedicated to industry professionals, and locations for pre-parties, after-parties, and events dedicated to networking and socializing.
Over the course of the two days, all these happenings will take place in emblematic locations in Bucharest: La Mita Biciclista – Creative Establishment, UNArte, Intercontinental Athenee Palace Hotel, The National Museum of Art of Romania, Odeon Theatre, and the Romanian Athenaeum, as well as established artistic spaces like Artmark or Art Safari.
Last but not least, Bucharest Fashion Week 2024 promises to be a celebration of fashion, art, and culture, where Romanian designers will shine on the global stage. Join us on October 16 and 17, 2024, to discover the latest fashion trends in the heart of Bucharest.
