VAGUE Fashion Week SS26
Fashion in context, culture in focus.
As seen by our voices on the ground.
Beyond the runway
For Beyond the Runway, our new fashion film series, we’re seeking seating and backstage access to tell the full story of your show — not just the runway moment.
Our small, agile team will be covering Europe's biggest fashion weeks to deliver both editorial depth and high-quality visuals for a select number of brands who 'fashion' at the intersection of community and culture.

Our Purpose
VAGUE is where community, culture, and commerce collide. Operating at the intersection of editorial and studio, we’re building cultural infrastructure that connects brands with emerging talent and underground scenes.
We publish weekly essays, visual projects, and host conversations with our exclusive global membership scheme that explore the intersections of fashion, music, identity, and global youth culture.
At VAGUE, we don’t do surface-level coverage.
Our platform brings together creatives and industry voices from across our global network to tell stories from the ground — sparking conversations that cut through the noise.
​
We work directly with the artists and makers shaping culture behind the scenes: discussing fashion, objects, and form as cultural artefacts; dissecting style as both expression and politics; and tracing shifts in technology, systems, and sustainability to anticipate the future of storytelling.
​
At Fashion Week, we cover collections in their cultural context and spotlight the communities powering them. We want to know: what do these clothes say about the world? What world are they — and the communities around them — trying to create?
Our POV
Our Coverage
This season, we’re:
​
-
hosting a fashion week panel discussion about the future of fashion media at Reference Point on September 15
-
producing backstage film and photo stories that spotlight process, craft and community
-
covering select shows through essays, shoots and on-the-ground dispatches
-
hosting post-show dialogues with creatives, stylists and cultural voices
The Proposition
​
We’re inviting designers and PR teams to partner with VAGUE to produce film and digital assets that frame your collections within a wider cultural conversation — positioning them not only for immediate visibility but for long-term relevance through our editorial platform and creative agency network.
This will involve granting us two (2) access passes (for 1 fashion editor, 1 photographer/filmmaker) to shows, presentations and backstage moments during Fashion Week.
The Approach
Our team will be working in dual capture: film for nostalgia, digital for immediacy to elevate fashion week content capture into the realm of cultural archive. Think looping cinemagraphs that blur stillness and motion, intimate conversations captured on camera, and immersive visual spreads that blend reportage with editorial.
​
The Ambition
Beyond the Runway aims to shift Fashion Week coverage from traditional recap to art-led storytelling. Each episode will reflect the designer's own identity to help build a bridge between brands and an increasingly disenfranchised audience.
