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.

This isn’t just a Halloween party, it’s the first night of a new chapter for the Scottish Fashion Festival. Come dressed as the fashion icon who inspires you, from legendary designers and supermodels to unforgettable film characters and iconic archival looks. Ease into the evening with music, drinks and conversation before Simon from Hot Mess takes over the decks from 10pm, with disco, house, electro and Italo until late. There’ll be a Best Dressed competition, a room full of fashion-loving creatives and your first chance to celebrate the Festival’s return. Limited Early Bird tickets are available now, so grab yours before they’re gone.
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.
