The final months of 2026 bring another strong mix of fashion, sourcing, sustainability, circularity, and material innovation events around the world.
We’ve updated the VFR Global Fashion Events Calendar with events taking place from October through December. Below are a few highlights we think are especially worth following.
October
October is a particularly exciting month for us at Vegan Fashion Repository, with our own Sustainable Fashion Week panel alongside major fashion and sourcing events in Paris, Tokyo, and Ottawa.
New Materials, New Possibilities: Designers Discuss Creative Opportunities with Bio-Based Materials
Our biggest October highlight is one of our own. On 2 October, 4–5 PM BST (17:00–18:00 CEST), Vegan Fashion Repository will host an online panel as part of Sustainable Fashion Week 2026, exploring the creative possibilities of bio-based and next-generation materials.
The discussion brings together Sarah Regensburger, Emilija Balsyte of BALSAIS, Paras Doshi of Doshi, and Wiola Wiertel of Bohema Clothing, with Catherine Nhung and Kaja Nidecka hosting for VFR.
Rather than focusing only on sustainability, we’ll look at how emerging materials influence design, texture, construction, aesthetics, and creativity.

FaW TOKYO – FASHION WORLD TOKYO Autumn
FaW TOKYO brings together fashion brands, textiles, sourcing, sustainability, technology, and circular business models under one roof.
Of particular interest to us are its Sustainable Fashion Expo, Textile Expo, and wider focus on material and industry innovation.

The Vegan Fashion Show
Taking place in Ottawa, The Vegan Fashion Show combines runway presentations with education and advocacy around animal-free fashion and next-generation materials.
The event highlights how vegan fashion can move beyond the idea of an alternative niche and become a space for contemporary design, innovation, and new material solutions.
November
November turns toward circularity, sourcing, regulation, and textile production, with events looking at both the creative and operational transformation of the industry.
Amsterdam Textile Show
The Amsterdam Textile Show connects international textile, garment, fabric, footwear, accessory, and raw-material suppliers with buyers and fashion professionals.
It offers a broad overview of global sourcing, manufacturing, and textile production.
CIRCULAR ROOMS
CIRCULAR ROOMS focuses on the practical side of fashion’s circular transition, bringing together topics including Digital Product Passports, compliance, product data, regulation, and circular business models.
As sustainability regulation becomes increasingly operational, the event offers a useful look at how companies are adapting in practice.
December
December brings a quieter close to the year, with a final focus on materials, luxury sourcing, and future collections.
Blossom Première Vision
Blossom Première Vision is a curated sourcing event for luxury and high-end fashion brands, presenting previews of upcoming fabrics, materials, accessories, and specialist craftsmanship.
The event offers an early look at the materials and creative directions shaping future collections.
Looking Ahead
From bio-based materials and vegan fashion to sourcing, circularity, regulation, and luxury craftsmanship, the final quarter of 2026 reflects just how many different forces are reshaping the fashion industry.
