DENVER – Denver Fashion Week, one of America’s fastest-growing fashion platforms, will return this spring with eight runway shows from Friday, May 1, through Saturday, May 9, 2026. Presented by Furniture Row, Colorado’s largest and most influential fashion event continues to push creative boundaries, spotlighting emerging designers, national brands, diverse models, and top body teams in a week-long celebration of style, culture, and creativity.
This season introduces the Outerwear & Athleisure Fashion Show, marks the return of the highly anticipated Swimsuit & Resort Wear Fashion Show, and once again features the inspiring Adaptive Fashion Show, highlighting innovation and inclusivity on the runway.
“Denver Fashion Week has grown into the leading fashion platform in Colorado, bringing together the designers, creatives, and industry professionals who are shaping the future of style in our region,” said AB Aharonian, producer of Denver Fashion Week. “What started as a vision to support Denver’s emerging fashion community has evolved into the state’s premier runway event, spotlighting both rising talent and established designers while showcasing the creativity and energy that define Colorado’s fashion scene.”
The highly anticipated spring season will take place at the Furniture Row Showroom, located at 5445 Bannock Street in Denver. The expansive showroom provides a unique backdrop for Colorado’s largest fashion event, bringing together two industries rooted in design, craftsmanship, and personal style. Just as fashion reflects how we present ourselves, furniture and interior design shape the spaces we live in, making this a natural pairing.
