New York, USA – January 2026 – As the countdown continues toward January 31, 2026, Unique Fashion Show(UFS) announces the return of its 6th International Edition, unfolding within the iconic Christian Church (Cathedral), 1010 Park Avenue, Manhattan. Renowned for positioning fashion as a language of culture, identity, and innovation, UFS New York 2026 places a powerful spotlight on designers as storytellers, elevating their creative voices at the intersection of fashion, art, technology, and sustainability.
Following the success of its Paris 2025 edition and supported by the Georgian Tourism Association, UFS New York 2026 will welcome 800+ international guests and engage over 15 million global viewers through AI-powered digital broadcasts and metaverse experiences- marking one of the most anticipated cultural fashion gatherings of the year.
Runway as Narrative: Designers at the Core
At the heart of UFS New York 2026 are 10 international designers, selected for their ability to merge craftsmanship, innovation, and narrative. Each collection is presented not merely as fashion, but as a cultural statement- reflecting personal histories, artistic disciplines, and social values.
The runway presentations are supported by a B2B and B2C showroom, offering designers direct access to buyers, retailers, and investors, as well as a two-day post-event pop-up at a New York concept store, extending visibility from runway to real-world engagement.
