Miami Fashion Week (MIAFW) celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, returning October 13–18, 2026 featuring industry programming, runway shows, and special events bringing together international designers, Latin American talent and Miami’s creative community. For a decade, MIAFW has served as a bridge between Miami and the international fashion industry, creating a platform for designers while expanding beyond the runway through sustainability, technology, education and cultural exchange.
“Celebrating 10 years of Miami Fashion Week is an incredibly meaningful milestone,” says Lourdes Fernandez-Velasco, Executive Director of Miami Fashion Week. “Over the past decade, we’ve built a platform that connects designers, creatives and industry leaders from around the world while remaining deeply rooted in Miami. This year is both a celebration of how far we’ve come and an exciting look at where fashion is going next.”
MIAFW 2026 programming will include runway presentations throughout Miami, the MIAFW Summit with the Miami Fashion Institute, the annual Miami Fashion Week Gala, and a new collaboration with Stitch Lab that will bring the fashion week experience directly to consumers.
