The entire festival program is guided by principles of environmental care and sustainability.
The festival presents a multi-day program, with three distinctive fashion shows as its core events: Mood-Performance-Tants, Antoniuse Fashion Show, and OmaMood.

We invite fashion enthusiasts to join a curated conscious fashion design tour at Hopp Disain, where together with the curator we will explore the gallery space and uncover the stories behind local designers' creations.
You will discover where inspiration comes from, which materials are used and why, and how locally made conscious and sustainable fashion takes shape. The designers themselves will also be present, sharing the stories behind their work directly and honestly. This is not just a tour — it is an opportunity to experience fashion through the eyes of its creators. |

| 09.06.2026 15.00 | MOEKE 2026 “Fashion Has No Age” | Loomelava | READ MORE |
|
This year’s theme is “Fashion Has No Age”, inspired by the idea that clothing does not belong to a single stage of life.
The same garment can be part of childhood, youth, or maturity, carrying different stories through different moments in time. As the body and time evolve, clothing does not remain behind — it adapts, moves forward, and finds new forms. Age does not end the story of a garment; it simply adds a new chapter to it. |

OmaMood does not simply present clothing — it brings to the stage the rhythm of creation, where nature, people, and time intertwine into one whole.
It is a quieter, deeper, and more timeless experience, where each collection searches for its place in time, with the hope of enduring beyond the moment. |
