Monte-Carlo Fashion Week 2026 concluded at the Grimaldi Forum on April 18, with its annual Fashion Awards ceremony, bringing together key figures from across the international fashion industry…

Organised by the Monaco Chamber of Fashion and co-hosted by Victoria Silvstedt, the event has, since 2015, recognised designers, executives and innovators who stand out for creativity, influence and forward-thinking vision.

This year’s edition once again placed strong emphasis on sustainability, a theme increasingly central to the future of fashion. Alongside runway shows and industry gatherings throughout the week, conferences and roundtables explored how brands can evolve towards more responsible and ethical practices.

Among the highlights of the evening was a tribute to the late Giorgio Armani, honoured with a Legacy Award celebrating his enduring contribution to global fashion. Other distinctions focused on individuals actively shaping a more sustainable industry, including the presentation of the Positive Change Award to a leading figure from Gucci for their commitment to responsible innovation.

Beyond the awards, the week also reinforced Monaco’s ambition to position itself as a hub for emerging talent, with initiatives designed to attract and support creatives within the Principality.

By blending glamour with substance, Monte-Carlo Fashion Week continues to demonstrate that style and sustainability can go hand in hand, reflecting a sector increasingly aligned with the challenges of its time.
