The Scottish Fashion Festival Returns

A festival created by Scotland's fashion community, for Scotland's fashion community.

The Scottish Fashion Festival returns in 2026 with a new vision, one that celebrates the incredible creativity already happening across Scotland while creating new opportunities for the people behind it to connect, collaborate, and shape the future together.

Rather than presenting a single programme in one location, this year's Festival is a decentralised celebration of Scottish fashion and textiles, bringing together events, exhibitions, workshops, talks, retail experiences, studio open days, runway shows, research projects, creative gatherings, and most of all you.

Whether you're a designer, maker, retailer, gallery, museum, educator, student, charity, community group or creative business - if you're doing something that celebrates Scottish fashion, textiles or craftsmanship, we'd love you to be part of the Festival.

More Than a Festival

This relaunch marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for SR:D and the Scottish Fashion Festival.

As much as it is a celebration, it is also an opportunity to listen. We want to better understand Scotland's fashion landscape today. What's thriving, where the gaps are, what support is needed, and how we can build a stronger, more connected creative community for the future.

Throughout the Festival, we'll be inviting participants, audiences, and organisations to share ideas, make new connections, and help shape the next chapter of Scottish fashion.

 What's Happening?

Alongside events submitted by organisations across Scotland, SR:D will curate a series of flagship Festival events in the Greater Glasgow area, including:

• The Scottish Fashion Festival Launch Party: a Fashion Icons Halloween celebration to officially launch the Festival (31 October [Get Tickets →])

• Talks with a Twist: conversations, discussions and creative events exploring the future of fashion through fresh perspectives

• The Closing Celebration & SR:D Awards: bringing the community together to celebrate achievements, recognise creative excellence and look ahead to what's next

• Plus additional exhibitions, networking opportunities, and special events to be announced
