2026 International Fashion Gala

International Fashion Gala presents its 15th event, showcasing the theme: Ode to Elegance

This is a poetic tribute to the artistry of couture and the spirit of timeless style. From fluid silks to sculpted silhouettes, each design tells a story of grace, craftsmanship, and confidence. This fashion show will feature the work of designers from around the world, showcasing diversity and heritage from many cultures. We hope to honour the beauty and grace of art through fashion and portray its timelessness across cultures.

This year, we are honoured to partner with the BC Cancer Foundation to champion the Vancouver Cancer Centre’s technology innovation initiative. In British Columbia, one in two people will face cancer in their lifetime; new diagnoses are projected to increase by 33% over the next decade. To meet this challenge, the BC Cancer Foundation has launched a $50 million Vancouver Technology Innovation Initiative, introducing world-leading imaging and treatment technologies to accelerate cancer diagnosis and care. One of these breakthrough devices will revolutionize medical imaging. Its sensitivity is 22 times greater than existing equipment, reducing PET/CT scan time from 40 minutes to less than 2 minutes, providing clearer images and lower radiation doses, enabling earlier and more accurate diagnoses. Your support will help more British Columbia families access world-class cancer care faster and build a stronger future against cancer.
