Miami Fashion Week® (MIAFW) returns this October 20–26, 2025, transforming Miami into a vibrant stage for global design talent. As the second largest fashion event in the United States, officially recognized by the CFDA’s Fashion Calendar Important Dates alongside New York, London, Paris, and Milan, MIAFW bridges continents through its celebration of Latin American artistry, sustainability, and innovation.

This year’s edition marks a defining moment for Miami’s creative economy, as international icons, emerging designers, and industry leaders unite to showcase fashion’s evolving landscape. With the continued support of Miami-Dade County, MIAFW amplifies inclusivity and cultural diversity, cementing Miami’s role as the meeting point between North and South America.

For the first time, participating designers will also gain access to the exclusive Mana Fashion Showroom, connecting them directly with buyers, retailers, and key industry figures. This new initiative underscores Miami Fashion Week’s growing prestige as a platform for business, creativity, and global influence.
