Present an 8-piece collection at the fifth annual Le Pasefika Runway, October 24, 2026 in Portland, Oregon.
Are you a fashion designer looking to showcase your work? We would love for you to join us at the upcoming Le Pasefika Runway Fashion Show. Whether you create ready-to-wear, couture, cultural or regalia pieces, or experimental art-to-wear, we celebrate diverse voices and storytelling through fashion.
In the application, tell us about your brand, the collection you would like to show, model needs, tech or styling requests, and any cultural context you want highlighted. Everything our production team needs to support you on the runway.
This year's theme brings cultural heritage and forward-thinking fashion together.
Designers are invited to honor the traditions, stories, textiles, craftsmanship, and identities of their communities while transforming those influences into bold, experimental, and innovative design. Think dramatic silhouettes, unexpected materials, artistic construction, contemporary interpretations of traditional garments, and meaningful cultural storytelling.
Every collection should respectfully represent the designer's inspiration while presenting a fresh vision of how culture can shape the future of fashion.
Our fifth-year lineup is set. Thank you to every designer who applied and trusted us with their vision.

Designer applications for the fifth annual show close on Wednesday, September 9. If you have been meaning to apply, now is the time.
