2026 RHODE ISLAND FASHION WEEK: THE LINEUP

DAY 1 | STYLE EXCHANGE: CONVERSATIONS, CLOSET SWAPS & COMMUNITY

DATE: Thursday, September 24th, 2026, at 5:00 PM

LOCATION: William Hall Library Auditorium, 1825 Broad St, Cranston, RI 02905

ADMISSION: FREE (Registration Required) | Nothing to Swap? $5 Entry and you can browse the racks and discover some new finds!

The season begins with our curated clothing swap and social! We’re starting the evening with a series of high-impact “lightning-style” talks during guest arrival and check-in. These 8-minute expert-led sessions on fashion, health, and beauty run for the first 20–30 minutes—the perfect way to get inspired while you settle in with a drink. Once the presentations wrap, shop the racks of clothing, shoes, and accessories brought by your fellow fashionistas!

• Note: All items undergo inspection; overly worn items will not be accepted. Remaining items will be donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters of RI.
• Entry: Please enter the event through the auditorium entrance on the north side of the building.

DAY 2 | THE LOOK LAB: YOUR PROFESSIONAL STYLE SESSION

DATE: Friday, September 25th, 2026, at 5:30 pm

LOCATION: Paul T. Warner Photography Studio, 32 Cole Street, Warren, RI 02885

ADMISSION: $25 (Limited Slots Available)

Ever wondered what it’s like to be at the center of a professional fashion shoot? Step into the spotlight at The Look Lab.

This session is designed exclusively for the general public—no professional modeling experience required (or allowed!). We’re opening the RIFW vault to our community, giving "everyday icons" the chance to get the full pro treatment. Our experts will style you, dress you, and provide professional posing direction in a supportive, high-energy environment. You’ll walk away with a high-grade, professional photo perfect for social media, LinkedIn, or your personal portfolio.

If you’ve ever felt "not photogenic" or shy in front of a lens, this is for you. Don’t just watch the fashion—become the face of it!
