Fashion Week El Paseo returns to the runway March 13-18, continuing one of Palm Desert's signature events that brings together world-class fashion, community support, and national attention to the city each spring. As the largest fashion week on the West Coast, the event remains a point of pride for Palm Desert and a reflection of its role as the arts and cultural hub of the Coachella Valley.
Hosted at The Gardens on El Paseo in a purpose-built venue, Fashion Week El Paseo offers six nights of runway shows featuring established designers, emerging talent, and collections that span classic elegance and modern design. Through its support of Fashion Week El Paseo, the City of Palm Desert helps create a shared space where the Coachella Valley community connects with the world of fashion. Each evening benefits an area charity, reinforcing the event's long-standing commitment to giving back to the community.
Every night of the event includes cocktail receptions, pop-up shops, and chances to meet designers, giving attendees more ways to connect with the fashion world up close. And Fashion Week extends beyond the runway, with local boutiques and galleries hosting in-store events that add to the lively atmosphere along El Paseo.
The week opens Friday, Mar. 13, with designer Sergio Hudson presenting his Spring/Summer collection, recognized for its confident lines and modern sophistication. On Saturday, Mar. 14, Charles Harbison brings Harbison Studio to the runway, showcasing refined designs that have earned national attention.
On Sunday, Mar. 15, Kevan Hall presents Blossum '26, a collection that blends timeless glamour with a fresh perspective. Monday, Mar. 16, highlights The Magic of El Paseo, featuring collections from local boutiques and celebrating the distinctive style found along Palm Desert's premier shopping district.
Emerging designers take center stage Tuesday, Mar. 17, during #We Say, Moda!, featuring the work of students from Istituto Marangoni Miami. The week concludes Wednesday, Mar. 18, with the Finale Night Fashion Show, bringing together the creativity, energy, and generosity that define Fashion Week El Paseo.
From first-time attendees to local fashionistas showing off their latest curated looks, Fashion Week El Paseo offers a welcoming way for everyone to experience inspired design while supporting meaningful causes. With six nights of fashion and culture set against the backdrop of El Paseo, the event continues to be one of Palm Desert's most anticipated moments of the year.
