VIRTUAL FASHION AWARDS
Fashion is evolving beyond the physical runway. The Virtual Fashion Awards, by Miami Fashion Week, honor the pioneers shaping the future of fashion through virtual shows, digital creativity, and cutting-edge technology — celebrating a new generation of global storytelling.
​
MAY 21, 2026​
The event will take place at Queen Miami Beach, one of the most exclusive and sophisticated venues in Miami. Known for its iconic design, refined atmosphere, and prime location, this space provides the perfect setting for a unique experience that brings together fashion, innovation, and culture in a truly unforgettable environment.
Finalists will be unveiled during a live, in-person event taking place in May 2026 in Miami, where guests will experience the presentations through an immersive and highly creative showcase format.
​
During the event, three designers will be recognized with official awards. The Grand Prize winner will receive a Physical Runway Show at Miami Fashion Week in October, including a full runway slot, along with additional opportunities and exposure.
The MIAFW Virtual Fashion Awards invite fashion designers from around the world to apply and take part in a new era of runway presentation.
​
Designers are able to apply by submitting their collection along with an application fee. This fee directly supports the creation and production of their AI-powered runway show. Each selected designer will collaborate closely with the MIAFW creative team to develop a fully produced digital runway experience that reflects their vision, aesthetic, and brand identity.
