Fashion Week Ottawa (FWO) is more than just a runway — it’s a platform for artistic expression, cultural celebration, and community collaboration in the heart of Canada’s capital. As a non-profit initiative, FWO is dedicated to uplifting emerging designers, performers, and creatives from Ottawa and beyond by providing them with the space, audience, and support they need to share their work.
Our mission is to elevate independent fashion, amplify diverse voices, and create a space where art meets identity. We champion avant-garde expression, multicultural narratives, and eco-conscious creativity, all while offering a professional runway experience that reflects the bold spirit of our community.
All donations received go directly toward producing the event — covering venue costs, production, artist support, marketing, and operational needs. FWO is made possible through the support of local sponsors, volunteers, and the incredible individuals who believe in the power of art and fashion to shape culture.
We believe in fashion with purpose — and we’re building something unforgettable together.

This year’s show features wild and titillating live performances by the South Tower Armour Guild, where you’ll witness knights battling on the runway, models in choreographed combat, and staged fights that thrill the senses and captivate the imagination.
But that’s not all — the evening also includes live performances by incredible local artists including IamEli, Jogner Kapela, Jenn X.O, and the dazzling Diamonds in the Buff Burlesque, with sound and vibe curated by DJ Orange Octopus Jim.
Alongside the theatrics, prepare to be wowed by the visionary work of independent fashion designers from across the region, showcasing bold looks, experimental silhouettes, and unforgettable statements in style.
It’s fashion. It’s performance. It’s an experience you won’t forget.
