Unique Fashion Show Paris 2026

12 Designers, 800 Guests and One Runway in Paris — Everything You Need to Know

On 30 May 2026, Paris will host Unique Fashion Show Paris 2026 — the flagship European showcase of the global platform Unique Fashion Show (UFS). The event will take place at Le Réfectoire des Cordeliers, a historic venue in the Saint-Germain district — one of the city’s most prominent cultural and intellectual hubs, which regularly hosts events within the broader Paris Fashion Week ecosystem.

Following the success of this year’s New York showcase, the platform continues its global journey, positioning Paris as a crossroads of cultures, ideas, and creative economies. UFS is more than a runway: the platform builds living bridges between Europe, the Caucasus, Central Asia, and the United States, operating at the intersection of fashion, art, digital innovation, and sustainability.

The event is expected to welcome over 800 international guests — designers, media, buyers, photographers, investors, and diplomats. Each UFS showcase generates an estimated 20 million global media impressions, making participation a powerful tool for international visibility for the brands involved.

A curated selection of 12 international designers will present their collections. Among them — Georgian brand LEM, featured in the official London Fashion Week 2025 lineup, whose SS26 collection «Blanket» explores themes of memory and heritage through upcycling and patchwork. Serbian avant-garde brand Maria Chany, known for shows in Berlin, Milan, and Belgrade, will present a collection at the intersection of futuristic aesthetics and sustainable practices. California-based Bobbye Doll redefines modern femininity through sculptural silhouettes, while Bosnian brand MEMENTO by artist Tatjana Beho merges fashion and visual art through conceptual graphic prints. Georgian brand Lilien offers limited capsule collections centred on timeless elegance, and Irish brand Coumbiza rounds out the lineup, combining artisanal textile techniques with contemporary design.

Beyond the runway, the programme includes a B2B and B2C showroom connecting brands with buyers and investors, the Digital Fashion Experience — immersive visual installations expanding the traditional runway format — and an international art exhibition of contemporary interdisciplinary projects.

Special attention goes to the competition initiatives. Cycle X, supported by Sustainable Fashion Week US, will recognise designers working with sustainable and circular practices, with winners receiving an international scholarship programme. The AI & 3D Designers Contest 2026, themed Self-Transformation: From Limits to Freedom, brings together fashion, technology, and digital creativity.
