Garda Fashion Week
Fashion outside traditional contexts, on the shores of Lake Garda
About Garda Fashion Week
Fashion meets Lake Garda
On April 25, 2026, Desenzano del Garda, in the province of Brescia, will host a new edition of the Garda Fashion Week, the event that brings contemporary fashion beyond the runways of major cities. The venue is Sestino Fronte Lago, on Via Agello, a natural stage directly overlooking the lake.
An event born on Lake Garda
Founded in 2021 by an idea of Puccio Gallo and Angela Cannata, Garda Fashion Week stands out for its ability to integrate fashion into lively and evocative settings, far from traditional fashion calendars. The 2026 edition brings together designers and models from Brescia, Milan, Vicenza, Ferrara, Bergamo, Pavia, Treviso, and Genoa, for an evening that combines elegance and spectacle.
A dinner show until late
The evening begins at 8:00 PM with a dinner show and continues with fashion shows, music, performances, and entertainment until 3:00 AM. A dynamic format that transforms the presentation of collections into a true entertainment event on the lakefront.
The award on the lake
A distinctive element of Garda Fashion Week is the award given to the designers: a miniature reproduction of "Inside Two Sails", the iron sculpture by Walter Xausa installed on the Desenzano lakefront. A tribute that inextricably links the event to the Lake Garda territory and the city of Desenzano del Garda.
