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.

This year is both a celebration of how far we’ve come and an exciting look at where fashion is going next.”
