UNIQUE FASHION SHOW BRINGS INTERNATIONAL DESIGN, ART AND SUSTAINABILITY TO NEW YORK

PERLA --Unique Fashion Show New York 2026 will take place on September 13 at the historic Park Avenue Christian Church, 1010 Park Avenue, Manhattan, bringing together international fashion, business, technology, art, sustainability, education, and cultural exchange during New York Fashion Week.

Presented by the Unique Fashion Foundation Association (France), the event is expected to welcome more than 600 guests, including designers, buyers, retailers, investors, media representatives, diplomats, educators, artists, technology leaders, content creators, models, and fashion industry professionals.

The program will feature runway presentations by nine international designers, a B2B and B2C designer showroom, sustainability discussions, an international sustainable fashion contest, digital and visual art experiences, live performances, art and photography exhibitions, and professional networking.

Following nine successful editions across Europe and the United States, Unique Fashion Show continues its international expansion by positioning New York as a strategic meeting point connecting North America, Europe, the Caucasus, Central Asia, and Latin America.

“Unique Fashion Show was created to give designers and creative professionals more than a moment on the runway,” said Gita Dzhavid, founder of Unique Fashion Show and the Unique Fashion Foundation Association. “Our goal is to build long-term connections among fashion, education, technology, culture, media, and international business. In New York, we are bringing these communities together so that creative talent can be seen, supported, and connected with real global opportunities.”
