Warsaw made its debut in the world league. This is what the first Warsaw Fashion Week looked like.
Poland's capital has officially joined the fashion week calendar alongside Paris, Milan, New York, and London. The Polish fashion days took place from September 4-6, but it was the final day that caught the attention of style enthusiasts. See what the Main Gala of Warsaw Fashion Week 2025 looked like.
Although the evening was dominated by Polish fashion, the atmosphere at The Tides on the Vistula River took on a global feel. This was all thanks to local designers eager to showcase their work at its best. An electrifying energy filled the air, which was contagious to the guests.
