After nine successful seasons at New York Fashion Week, Runway 7 is ready to redefine the boundaries of American fashion. In 2026, the award-winning production company will embark on its most ambitious chapter yet: a national expansion bringing its immersive, performance-driven fashion experience to Miami and Los Angeles, two cities that reflect the diverse pulse of U.S. style and creativity.
“We are known for delivering immersive, experiential events and we are thrilled to bring that same level of excellence to Miami and Los Angeles in 2026,” said Christina Kovacs, Director of Designer & Sponsor Relations at Runway 7. “Guests can expect the full Runway 7 experience, incredible talent, art, music, and a few surprises, as always.”
Miami: The Energy of the Tropics, May 29–31
The expansion begins in Miami, where fashion meets the rhythm of the ocean. From May 29 to 31, 2026, Runway 7 will debut a vibrant new edition dedicated to swimwear and resort fashion, channeling the city’s sun-soaked allure and multicultural flair.
Each show will embrace the tropical spirit through breezy silhouettes, bold prints, and an atmosphere infused with live performances.
Los Angeles: Couture Meets Cinema, October 16–18
From the beaches of Florida to the heart of Hollywood, Runway 7 Los Angeles will take center stage October 16–18, 2026, transforming the runway into a cinematic experience.
This three-day showcase will highlight couture and high-art presentations, celebrating the intersection of fashion, film, and creative storytelling. With each collection unfolding like a visual narrative, the event promises to capture the magic and theatricality that define Los Angeles’ cultural legacy.
