The fashion industry’s key players have released dates for the 2025 trade season. To make planning ahead a little easier, Fashion Dive has organized a comprehensive list of the fashion trade shows, conventions and runway weeks. Topics such as sustainability, tax and tariff changes, artificial intelligence and Generation Z preferences will likely be top-of-mind this year, and the conversations at the shows drive changes in the fashion industry.
While there’s no way to attend all of the dozens of events that take place each year, this calendar can help sort out what to prioritize. Remember to check convention and show websites regularly, because details are subject to change.
