The Programme

What To Expect

This Year’s Theme

Celebrating America at 250: Honoring Our Past, Celebrating Our Present, Designing Our Future.

The Las Vegas Fashion Council's Eco Couture 2026 features a runway design competition built around this year's theme. Emerging and established designers compete by transforming repurposed materials into original couture that reflects American spirit, innovation, diversity, and resilience.

In partnership with Goodwill of Southern Nevada, participating designers create their garments primarily from upcycled materials sourced through Goodwill, highlighting the power of sustainability and creative reuse.

A special collection of designer and couture pieces, generously donated by Diana Bennett, is offered through the Council's charitable auction — online as well as throughout the evening, so attendance is not required in order to bid — including pieces from Lanvin, Brunello Cucinelli, Giorgio Armani, Michael Kors Couture, L'AGENCE, Alexander McQueen, Jimmy Choo, and Judith Lieber. Proceeds benefit the Las Vegas Fashion Council.

Attendees are encouraged to bring previously loved professional clothing, handbags, shoes, jewelry, and accessories in excellent condition to donate to Dress for Success Southern Nevada — each donation earns one raffle ticket toward prizes throughout the evening.
