Monte-Carlo Fashion Week 2026 opens today, launching five days of runway shows, conferences and exclusive events that place creativity, innovation and sustainability at the heart of the Principality’s fashion calendar…
The official opening takes place at Monaco Town Hall, led by Mayor Georges Marsan, before the evening’s “Cocktail Monaco Woman” gathers the international fashion community. From there, the programme moves to the Yacht Club de Monaco, where Wednesday is dedicated to runway presentations featuring international designers and forward-looking concepts, including a focus on eyewear and technological innovation.
Italian influence will be highlighted through a dedicated “Made in Italy” day, while the highly anticipated GENNY show is set to be one of the week’s standout moments. Beyond the catwalk, the event also explores the future of fashion, with conferences addressing sustainability, circular economy and responsible design. Notable speakers include innovators working with bio-materials and environmentally conscious production methods.
The Fashion Hub at Marius Monaco will run throughout the week, offering a platform for emerging and established brands to present their work. The programme builds towards Friday’s Fashion Awards gala at the Grimaldi Forum, celebrating ethical vision and creativity, before concluding with a series of high-profile runway shows on Saturday.
Blending glamour with purpose, Monte-Carlo Fashion Week continues to position Monaco as a global hub for modern, responsible fashion.
