ANTALYA, TÜRKİYE | 4–8 NOVEMBER 2026
Antalya is preparing to welcome an international gathering of fashion and creative industry professionals this November, with British fashion designer and film costume producer Venera Tabakin among the scheduled participants at International Fashion Ball 2026.
Running from 4 to 8 November, the event will combine fashion presentations, artistic performances and opportunities for international networking. Tabakin is expected to present her latest collection, bringing her perspective on eveningwear, cinematic styling and red carpet fashion to an audience of designers, models, entrepreneurs and media representatives. The announcement places a spotlight on a part of the fashion industry where design extends beyond the runway. Occasionwear is often associated with major public appearances, film premieres and formal events, where clothing becomes an important part of visual identity. Designers working in this space must balance creativity with wearability, while ensuring that a finished look makes an impression in person and in photographs.
For Tabakin, the Antalya presentation will provide an opportunity to introduce her latest work within an international programme rather than a traditional standalone fashion show. The main runway presentations are scheduled for 7 November at the Ancient City of Perge, a historic setting that offers a distinctive backdrop for contemporary design. Italian artist Maestro Giuseppe Fata, known for his sculptural headpieces, is scheduled to open the runway programme.
The event will also feature an opening gala and an International Business Forum on 6 November at The Sense De Luxe hotel. The forum is expected to address investment, finance, transport technology, real estate and company formation in Türkiye. Founded and organised by Anastasiya Pavelyeva, International Fashion Ball aims to bring together creative professionals and members of the international business community. The organisers are positioning the event as a meeting point for fashion, art, culture and professional collaboration.
