15th Annual Metropolitan Fashion Week Los Angeles

15TH ANNUAL METROPOLITAN FASHION WEEK LOS ANGELES 

A Spectacular Evening of CAPE EXTRAVAGANZA.

Benefiting Venezuela Earthquake Relief Programs.

Metropolitan Fashion Week Los Angeles proudly announces its highly anticipated 15th Annual Opening Night Celebration, taking place on Thursday, October 1, 2026, at The Original Farmers Market Los Angeles, located at 3rd Street and Fairfax Avenue.

This year's Opening Night theme, CAPE EXTRAVAGANZA, challenges fashion designers from around the world to create one breathtaking Fashion Masterpiece inspired by the grandeur and elegance of legendary capes throughout history, from Victorian sophistication and Renaissance royalty to Hollywood glamour and avant-garde modern couture. Each original creation will celebrate craftsmanship, innovation, and artistic expression on one of Southern California's most recognized outdoor runways.

This year's event will also benefit the Venezuela Earthquake Relief Programs, supporting humanitarian assistance, emergency relief, and long-term recovery efforts for communities affected by the devastating earthquakes in Venezuela. To maximize the impact of these efforts, we are proudly supporting the fundraising campaign through GlobalGiving.org, helping provide critical aid and long-term assistance to those in need.

Words from Metropolitan Fashion Week Founder & President Eduardo Khawam

"As someone who was born and raised in Venezuela, this mission is deeply personal. My heart is with every family that has been affected by the devastating earthquakes. While fashion celebrates creativity and beauty, it also has the power to unite communities and inspire compassion. Through the 15th Annual Metropolitan Fashion Week Los Angeles, we are committed to using our platform to help support Venezuela's rebuilding efforts and bring hope to those who need it most.
