Fashion Week San Diego®
Some of you may have noticed a brief pause in our posts and emails. We took a short, intentional break to honor the talent of Fashion Week San Diego, our audience, and the global community that makes us who we are. We also want to hold space for those facing new life challenges—particularly our military patrons and participants, as well as those impacted by the weight of recent global events.
We believe that keeping the creative scene alive and thriving is more important than ever during these times—it’s where we find connection. With a continued focus on community and fashion, we are excited to kick off 2026 with a robust year of programming.
We hope you will join us for Year 19 of Fashion Week San Diego at our kickoff event, the Spring Showcase, happening April 25th from 4–6 PM in San Diego’s “Jeweled City,” La Jolla.
Thank you for your support—we look forward to a fashionable year with you all!
Stay stylish,
Gwen Bates
Owner & Executive Director
