Alpharetta, Georgia – Fulton County’s fashion scene is getting another night in the spotlight, and this time the message goes deeper than fabric, flash, and applause.
Fulton County Arts & Culture has announced the return of its signature fashion experience, FACEs of Fashion 2026: The Art of Influence, set for Sunday, September 27, 2026, in Buckhead. The event is being shaped as more than a traditional runway show. It is being presented as a cultural gathering where clothing, visual art, storytelling, and community identity all move in the same direction.
The theme, The Art of Influence, gives the 2026 edition a clear center. Fashion has always carried a louder voice than many people admit. It can signal mood. It can reflect history. It can introduce new ideas before they reach the mainstream. This year’s event leans into that power, focusing on how creativity shapes what people wear, how they see themselves, and how culture shifts in real time.

Guests can expect a runway program featuring both emerging and established designers. The event will also include curated artistic moments designed to bring the experience beyond the catwalk. The goal is not only to show clothes, but to create a full atmosphere, one where design and meaning meet in front of an audience.
For Fulton County Arts & Culture, FACEs of Fashion has become a platform with a wider purpose. It gives designers, artists, and cultural voices a place to be seen while connecting the public with the creative energy growing across the region. In Buckhead, that mix of fashion and arts programming is expected to return with a polished but community-rooted feel.
“FACEs of Fashion is more than a runway show; it’s a platform that amplifies creativity, honors cultural influence, and connects communities through the arts,” said David Manuel, Director of Fulton County Arts & Culture.
“With The Art of Influence, we are spotlighting the individuals and ideas that shape not only what we wear, but how we express who we are.”
More details are still ahead. Fulton County Arts & Culture said featured designers, honorees, and ticket information will be announced soon. Until then, the date is already marked: September 27, 2026, when FACEs of Fashion returns to Buckhead with style, purpose, and a theme built around the people and ideas that leave a mark.
