Frequently Asked Questions

What types of fashion brands can apply?+

We accept ready-to-wear, swimwear, resort wear, accessories, and footwear brands. Both emerging designers and established brands are welcome.

What are the participation options and pricing?+

We offer three ways to participate: Exhibitor booths start at $1,500 and give you space to showcase your collection to buyers and press. Runway shows range from $5,000 to $35,000 for shared shows with full production. Private shows and activations are custom-priced based on your project. We'll discuss the best fit for your goals on the discovery call.

What's the difference between exhibitor and runway?+

Exhibitor booths give you a dedicated space at the venue where buyers and press can view your collection, meet you, and place orders. Runway shows put your collection on the catwalk with models, professional production, and maximum press exposure. Many brands start as exhibitors and graduate to runway, or do both at the same event.

What's the application timeline for 2026?+

Applications are open now for all 2026 events. We recommend applying early—popular slots fill quickly and early applicants get priority scheduling.

Do you help with models and production?+

Yes, for runway shows we provide full production including venue, lighting, sound, backstage coordination, and model casting support. Exhibitor packages include your booth space, signage, and event access.

Can I apply for multiple cities?+

Absolutely. Many brands showcase in multiple markets within the same season. We can discuss a multi-city strategy on your call.

What if I'm not sure my brand is ready?+

That's exactly what the discovery call is for. We'll review your brand together and give you honest feedback on readiness. If it's not the right time, we'll tell you what to work on before applying. No pressure, no obligation.

What results can I expect? Is this worth the investment?+

Results vary by brand, but our alumni have secured features in Vogue, WWD, Harper's Bazaar, and Elle. Several have landed wholesale accounts with Macy's, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and Saks within weeks of their shows. We can share specific case studies on your call.
