Fashion Events 2026

The Premio Maestri d’Eccellenza returns for its fourth edition, celebrating Italian craftsmanship through an initiative by LVMH Métiers d’Excellence, Confartigianato Imprese and Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana, with Fondazione Bvlgari as the 2026 partner. Nine finalists compete across three categories, recognizing established artisans, emerging talent, and innovation in Italian craftsmanship. The 2026 winners will be announced during the awards ceremony at the Bvlgari Hotel Roma on September 14.

For two days in September, Cartier will give the public access to its Institut Joaillerie, the Paris training center dedicated to preserving and transmitting the Maison’s jewelry-making savoir-faire. Founded in 2002, the Institut trains Cartier craftspeople and works with institutions including the Haute École de Joaillerie and École Boulle to prepare the next generation of jewelers.

For the Journées Européennes du Patrimoine, on September 19 and 20, Cartier has created a 90-minute visit bringing together almost every specialist involved in the jewelry creation process. The route also takes visitors to the jeweler’s bench for an introduction to the craft.

Housed in an 18th-century hôtel particulier in Paris’s historic jewelry district, Cartier’s Institut Joaillerie is normally devoted to training rather than public visits. Reservations are mandatory for the two-day opening, with the exact address communicated to registered visitors.

The annual BoF 500 Gala returns to Paris Fashion Week, bringing together The Business of Fashion’s global community to celebrate the latest names joining the BoF 500. The gala draws designers, talent and industry executives for one of the week’s most closely watched private gatherings. This season’s gala is presented in partnership with Amazon Fashion.

Expected guest list: Kim Kardashian, the Beckhams, Adriana Lima and Barbara Palvin.

Guest accreditation is currently open. Individual show access remains subject to invitation, accreditation and designer approval.
