Be Part of Budapest’s Most Stylish Week – You Can Join BCEFW With Side Events Again

In the capital, the first week of autumn will be all about fashion again: Budapest Central European Fashion Week will tailor Budapest to fit its fashionable spirit between 1 and 7 September 2025. Side events connected to fashion in an exciting and creative way can join the event series organised by the Hungarian Fashion & Design Agency (HFDA). The organisers welcome applications from pop-up events, workshops, shows, and exhibitions highlighting the Hungarian and regional fashion industry and the brands until 20 July.

BCEFW, to be held for the 16th time this year, has become one of Central Europe’s major fashion events. Showcasing exciting programmes each day, the fashion week awaits visitors with several events beyond the main shows. The organisers are open to collaborations to diversify the event and the city, whether an exclusive shopping evening, a charity event, or a brand-building workshop; the goal is to fill Budapest with fashion. The competition is open to events that present fashion from a new perspective and bridge the gap between the industry, brands, and the public.

The organisers await applications for events held between 1 and 7 September that are private or open to the public, are held online or in person, and fit the spirit of BCEFW. Organising the side event is the responsibility of the Partner joining the event series, but BCEFW will provide marketing and PR communication support. The details of the side events will be displayed on the event’s official website and social media platforms to reach a broad audience. Thus, the different programmes offer networking and debuting opportunities while contributing to brand visibility and market presence.

• Pop-up Store
