We kick off Fashion Week on Friday 26 April at 6.30pm on the Lichttorenplein with the ELLE Fashion Show with brands such as Printemps, Verso, Things that make you happy, Scapa, Patrizia Pepe, Marina Rinaldi and Caroline Biss, who will all present their brand new summer collection there. From styling and models to music and silhouettes, it promises to be an absolute blast. Will you come and watch too?
On the iconic pink Lichttorenplein, several fashion shows will also be hosted by presenter Justine De Jonckheere and you can spot the latest looks from top brands and local gems each Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. From high fashion to street chic, these shows are where dreams (and wardrobes) come true. And the best part? You can even score your favourite items directly from nearby boutiques - what a luxury!
But that's not all - local merchants are also on hand to pamper you in their shops during Fashion Week. They roll out the red carpet and unpack exclusive deals to take your shopping experience to the next level. Customer is king, right?

Fashion magazine Marie Claire is also jumping on the bandwagon, bringing a touch of fashion to the streets. During the entire Fashion Week, you can admire beautiful silhouettes selected by the Marie Claire team in the main shopping streets of Knokke-Heist, ideal for those who love a relaxing session of window shopping. As icing on the cake, these showcased outfits will come to life at the exclusive Marie Claire Défilé, which is by invitation only on Saturday 4 May at Hotel La Réserve Résort.
On Tuesday 29 April, the Marie Claire Designer Day will continue with the aim of putting Knokke-Heist on the map as a fashion paradise even more than ever. From 10am to 6pm, young designers will have the chance to meet various retailers from both inside and outside Knokke-Heist, and present their collections to them. Knokke-Heist gladly plays a role in this special B2B story to give starting designers that extra push. Afterwards, local traders from Knokke-Heist and other fashion lovers can join a Fashion Talk by an inspiring entrepreneur in the evening.
