Open Call: AFA Showroom
As part of the joint professionalization project HOW TO FASHION, the Austrian Fashion Association, in cooperation with the Vienna Business Agency, invites Vienna-based fashion designers to apply for the showroom taking place on the two days following the Austrian Fashion Awards 2026.
The showroom will be held in Vienna and offers an exclusive platform for visibility, presentation, and professional networking. On the first day, it is aimed specifically at national press representatives and international guests of the Austrian Fashion Awards; on the second day, the showroom opens its doors to the general public.
One spot will be awarded to a designer at the beginning of their professional career who has already completed a full collection (womenswear, menswear, unisex, or accessories).
The selected designer will have the opportunity to present their collection in a professionally curated environment and gain direct visibility with national media, high-profile international guests from the fashion industry, and leading industry experts.
