Join MOA for the 2026 Slow Fashion Show, an evening that brings sustainability, creativity, and performance into powerful dialogues.Building on the momentum of 2025, Slow Fashion Season 2026 features emerging and established artists reimagining fashion through sustainability. Highlighting thoughtful fibre use, ethical production, and textile reuse, the exhibition and runway model more conscious ways of making, wearing, and valuing clothing.
The evening begins in the Bill Reid Rotunda with Croquis, a solo performance by award-winning queer Canadian-Filipinx artist Ralph Escamillan — a live, expressive sketch in motion that sets the tone for the night. Then the runway comes alive in MOA’s Great Hall with designs by professional fashion designers and students responding to the UBC Student Sustainable Fashion Challenge, showcasing bold experimentation and imaginative futures for fashion.
After the show, audiences are invited into MOA’s Multiversity Gallery to meet the designers and connect their work with MOA’s global textile collections — a space for conversation, reflection, and deeper connection.
Experience fashion as art, action, and possibility — with sustainability centre stage.
