This is your moment to showcase your talent on Ireland’s inaugural fashion week runway!
Over the next few weeks, applications are open for the seven fashion shows which will take place across Ireland, from October 6th–10th, 2025. Applications will remain open until May 23rd, and will be reviewed on a rolling basis by our incredible panel of judges.
You’ll find the application form above, along with an overview of all the fashion shows. Successful applicants will be invited for an interview. In June, we’ll announce the final lineup of fashion designers selected for show slots during Ireland Fashion Week.
Today’s applications are open exclusively to fashion designers. Once our designer roster is confirmed, we’ll open further opportunities for the wider creative community – including accessories, shoes, hats, stylists, models, backstage crew, and an internship program for students and graduates.
Ireland Fashion Week will bring together the very best of Irish creativity: from designers and models to set designers, DJs, poets, florists and beyond. A fashion week is a living ecosystem – and it all begins with the fashion.
What do selected designers receive?
Every designer selected – whether for a solo show or part of a group showcase — will be supported with the tools to grow their brand in the lead-up to October, and to use their runway moment as a true springboard post-show.
Designer support includes access to partner tech packages worth over €250,000:
- Tailr – AI sizing and sustainable supply chain tech
- Heuritech – AI trend forecasting using real-time social media insights
- ChatLabs – Personalised content tools to boost digital reach and engagement
Supported by our official partners:
- DS Automobiles – Official Car Partner of Ireland Fashion Week
- Medik8 – Official Skin Partner
- SOSU Cosmetics – Official Makeup Partner
- Bare by Vogue – Official Tan & Skin Finish Partner
- National B – Official Haircare Partner featuring Aveda, Bumble & Bumble, Color Wow & more
Selected designers will also attend two Brand Bootcamps (July & September)
These exclusive sessions will include masterclasses from our board and partner agencies on topics like branding, e-commerce, IP protection, and marketing.
We are also committed to making this accessible:
Ireland Fashion Week will subsidise up to 90% of fashion show production costs for selected designers. Designers will receive guidance during Bootcamps on how to apply for the remaining 10% through Local Enterprise Office (LEO) grants.
This is your platform. Let’s make fashion history, together.
