In late 2026, major fashion industry events took place in Atlanta and Manila, focusing on entrepreneurship, culture, and regional collaboration.

Atlanta Fashion Week expanded its program to connect the city’s creative ecosystem through various citywide partnership events. The event featured the Vanguard Awards and industry panels, such as ‘What’s the Dress Code?’, which addressed building fashion empires and the legacy of Black entrepreneurship.

In Manila, the inaugural Fashion Week Asia (FWA) gathered designers from across the region, including Southeast Asia, South Korea, and Taiwan. The event included the Fashion Forward Forum, where participants discussed sustainability, the material revolution, and how regional political or economic contexts influence creative identity. The showcase also integrated various Filipino artists into runway presentations.
