Ottawa Fashion Week/ Fashion Week Ottawa is more than just a runway! it’s a platform for artistic expression, cultural celebration, and community collaboration in the heart of Canada’s capital. As a non-profit initiative, we are dedicated to uplifting emerging designers, performers, and creatives from Ottawa and beyond by providing them with the space, audience, and support they need to share their work.

Our mission is to elevate independent fashion, amplify diverse voices, and create a space where art meets identity. We champion avant-garde expression, multicultural narratives, and eco-conscious creativity, all while offering a professional runway experience that reflects the bold spirit of our community.

FWO is made possible through the support of local sponsors, volunteers, and the incredible individuals who believe in the power of art and fashion to shape culture.

We believe in fashion with purpose and we’re building something unforgettable together.

FWO 2026 brings together a powerful lineup of visionary designers and dynamic performers, each offering their own unique voice, culture, and aesthetic to the runway and stage.
