How Do You Get Into Fashion Week as a Designer?

(And Why This Cruise Could Be the Platform You’ve Been Praying For)

Every designer has one dream—seeing their work come alive on the runway. Fabric moving. Lights flashing. Applause rising.
It’s not just about clothes—it’s about legacy.

So when someone asks, “How do you get into Fashion Week as a designer?”—what they’re really asking is:
How do I get seen? How do I get heard? How do I finally step into the spotlight?

Let’s break down the traditional process—and show you a powerful, faith-driven alternative that’s making waves in 2026.

What’s the Usual Path Into Fashion Week?

For most designers, getting into one of the “Big Four” (New York, Paris, Milan, London) isn’t easy. In fact, it often looks like this:

• Be a member of a fashion council (like CFDA)

• Submit to exclusive production companies and wait to be selected

• Pay production fees anywhere from $10,000 to $50,000

• Source your own glam squad, models, media team, and venue

• Hope your show gets media coverage—and that the right people show up

It’s stressful. Expensive. And often discouraging for new and independent designers.

That’s why we created something that flips the script.
Something luxury. Something intimate. Something at sea.

Introducing: The New Fashion Week at Sea

April 23–28, 2026 | Departing New Jersey → Bermuda

The New Fashion Week at Sea is a luxury fashion experience for designers, creatives, and fashion lovers who are ready to showcase their work without gatekeeping, ego, or pressure.

We're curating a five-day cruise filled with:

• Runway shows under the stars

• Branding & marketing workshops

• Poolside networking and photo shoots

• Real collaboration and content creation

• Faith-based empowerment and community

• Two days in Bermuda for rest, photos, and rejuvenation

This is more than a fashion show.
It’s an experience—and designers like you are invited to be part of it.
