Get involved with BCEFW through side events!


Fashion industry novelties and programmes will invigorate the capital between the 10th and the 16th of February 2025. Preparations for the 15th Budapest Central European Fashion Week have already started, and, like each year, side events can join the event series again. Be it a pop-up store, roundtable discussion, Trunk Show, or charity event, you are invited to apply with any programme suggestions that put the Hungarian and regional fashion industry and brands in the centre. The deadline for applications is the 10th of January 2025.

In mid-February, Budapest will host one of the most outstanding fashion events in Central Europe, the Budapest Central European Fashion Week (BCEFW) again. You can view the newest collections by Hungarian and regional designers at the weekend shows and, additionally, participate in exciting side events all around the city throughout the week. Each season, side events generate considerable interest and adding vibrant elements to the fashion week. The pop-up stores, fashion shows, workshops, and other brand-building programme opportunities create space for inspiring interactions between professionals and even fashion enthusiasts while also contributing to the promotion of the fashion industry and incentivising sales.

You can join the event’s programme with an open or private, online or offline event aligned with the fashion week’s profile from Monday (10 February) through Sunday (16 February). While event organisation will be handled by the participating Partner, BCEFW will provide marketing and PR communication support. The details of the entire programme of the fashion week, including the side events, will be displayed on the event’s official website and BCEFW’s social media platforms, helping the event reach a wide audience.
