THE 2025 FESTIVAL TAKES PLACE June 12-14 in Tartu


This year’s program has been curated with a range of fashion sector interest groups in mind—offering inspiration and practical solutions, raising awareness, inviting dialogue, and fostering community to collectively support a more sustainable fashion future.

The festival presents a rich, multi-day program, with three distinctive fashion shows as its core events: Mood-Performance-Tants, Antoniuse Fashion Show, and OmaMood. These events bring to the stage both emerging and established designers. The program also includes Greenery, a sustainability-focused fashion seminar featuring local and international experts and entrepreneurs. All festival events are organised in an environmentally responsible way.
