Saskatchewan Fashion Association Runway & ICON Indigenous Runway

“A High-Caliber Event Showcasing Fashion, Art, Music, Visual Design, and Dance—Highlighting the Ingenuity and Creativity of Designers”

This is not your average fashion show. It’s a high-caliber, curated experience that brings together design innovation and elevated aesthetics. Expect editorial moments, international runway standards, and Saskatchewan-made excellence.

Set within rRemai mModern after hours, guests will experience world-class production, show-stopping visuals, and bold, contemporary fashion. Saskatchewan Fashion Association Inc. will present Fall 2025 collections with all the luxury expected from an international fashion capital.

Guests can expect to be entertained by the unique talents of local designers, boutiques, and visual artists. This one-night-only event will showcase a range of men’s, women’s, and children’s collections—featuring everything from farm-to-fashion looks and upcycled materials to high-end couture and fashion-forward streetwear.

The inclusion of the ICON Indigenous Runway segment ensures that Indigenous fashion is recognized and celebrated—not as a cultural feature, but as a driving creative force in today’s fashion industry. From intricate beadwork to striking silhouettes, these collections integrate heritage techniques with contemporary design. Models will walk the runway in garments that reflect the craftsmanship, innovation, and cultural pride of First Nations, Métis, and Cree artisans.

This runway is not just a fashion show—it’s a platform for artistic excellence, storytelling through design, and the elevation of voices that continue to redefine the fashion landscape.
