2026 Prêt-A-Porter Design Team | Manufacturer Registration + Pairing Event

This is the registration event for design team and manufacturer participation, not for Prêt-A-Porter event tickets .

Professional Design Teams, please register for the number of teams your firm wishes to enter. Student Teams, please register ONE team per school. Additionally, dealerships can register to be a design team, however, sponsorship discounts will only apply to manufacturer registration and design team sponsors. This year design teams may be formed by multiple designers that are not from the same company, and students and furniture dealerships can pair up with design firms as well. The Pret committee can help facilitate these design firm pairings, if need be. Payments should be settled between all combined parties of the design team. If there are any questions, please reach out to [email protected].

Design Team Registrations will include 5 tickets. This includes (4) For Design Team and (1) For Model.

Student teams will be a limited of (1) student team from per school with up to (4) team members each.

If you are a non-aligned, multi-line dealership or an independent manufacturers' rep group covering material costs, please specify which brands/manufacturers you will be offering as a pairing to a design team. You may offer up to two manufacturers/brands per registration. Any questions or concerns, please email [email protected].

Manufacturer sign-ups are limited to Design Team sign-ups and pairings are drawn randomly. Diamond and Platinum sponsors are guaranteed a pairing. Then priority is given on a first come, first served basis starting with Gold sponsors while design team sign-ups last. If we aren’t able to pair a manufacturer with a team, the entry fee will be reimbursed. Please reach out to [email protected] for any Sponsorship questions!
