Monte-Carlo Fashion Week: a global platform for sustainable fashion

Monte-Carlo Fashion Week will be making a grand return to catwalks and venues across the Principality in April with a full schedule of runway shows and industry talks that will promote the virtues of sustainability and inclusivity.

The 13th edition of Monte-Carlo Fashion Week (MCFW) is set to take place from 22nd to 26th April. Featuring a programme of runway shows, presentations, conferences and industry discussions, the event is recognised as Monaco’s official fashion platform and is used by local and international designers alike to promote important topics such as sustainability, circular fashion and diversity.

The 2025 edition of the event will showcase a range of resort, cruise and capsule collections, beginning with a catwalk of pieces from Italian designer Elisabetta Franchi and her Eternal collection at the Yacht Club de Monaco. Franchi prides herself on traditional craftsmanship and Italian fashion heritage. Other Monaco-based and international brands will follow this inaugural show, including Roberto Cavalli.

Previous editions of MCFW have drawn participation from globally recognisable designers and brands such as Dolce & Gabbana, Alberta Ferretti, Tommy Hilfiger, Ermanno Scervino and Vivienne Westwood as well as industry figures including Federico Marchetti and Marco Bizzarri.

Federica Nardoni Spinetta, the president and founder of the Chambre Monégasque de la Mode and MCFW, says, “We are proud to support Monegasque brands while offering international designers and fashion personalities a prestigious platform in the Principality to present their collections and discuss the importance of sustainable and circular fashion.”

Beyond the runway MCFW 2025 will mark the 10th edition of the event’s Fashion Awards which champion designers and professionals for their contributions to ethical and innovative fashion. The event will also feature a Fashion Hub with presentations, discussions and a fashion symposium.
