Models will walk a runway framed by vintage aircraft when Fashion in Flight returns to Seattle's Museum of Flight on Saturday, November 7, 2026, marking the event's fourth year pairing Northwest fashion with the museum's aviation backdrop. Doors open at 6 p.m., with seating beginning at 6:30 p.m. and the runway show kicking off at 7 p.m. sharp. The show is open to attendees ages 10 and up, and organizers are encouraging guests to dress fashionably for the occasion.
Fashion District NW has partnered with the museum for the fourth annual event, according to Fashion District NW, which describes the show as a showcase for designers from around the Northwest. This year's lineup includes six designers and brands — By Tinarie, La’ Mama’s Hands, Marina Safina, Shalom Aburu, Soul Mates Bridal and Takke One Second — per Vintage Aviation News. The runway show will unfold at the museum's Seattle campus at 9404 E. Marginal Way S., according to a report from the Daily Journal of Commerce.
A Night of Red Carpets, DJ Sets and Designer Booths
Before the models take the runway, guests can expect a pre-show atmosphere built around a live DJ, designer booths, and red-carpet photo opportunities, the Fashion District NW event listing notes. That format has carried over from last year's show, when the organizers offered the same mix of music, vendor booths and photo moments ahead of the runway segment. The 2025 edition, billed at the time as the third annual Fashion in Flight, included runway presentations from Northwest designers staged alongside the museum's aircraft collection, Vintage Aviation News reported.
Designer Elena Razlog was among those who walked in last year's show, according to the Daily Journal of Commerce's account of the event. It is not confirmed whether Razlog or any other previous participant will return for the 2026 lineup. Once the runway portion wraps, the celebration continues with a 9 p.m. after-party at the museum featuring a meet-and-greet with designers and models — a tradition that also capped the 2025 show.
Ticket Prices Climb From Last Year's Event
Admission this year runs higher than it did in 2025. VIP tickets are listed at $139 and include front-row seating, a complimentary drink ticket, and free parking, according to Vintage Aviation News. Second- and third-row seats cost $99, also with free parking included. Last year's listing on the Fashion District NW site priced VIP seats at $110 and second- and third-row tickets at $75, meaning both tiers have risen for the fourth annual edition.
Ahead of the show, Fashion District NW held an open model casting at the Museum of Flight on August 30 for the 2026 runway lineup. The museum's own event listing says proceeds from Fashion in Flight benefit the Museum of Flight, and describes sponsorship donations as tax deductible because of the museum's nonprofit status, though specific payment arrangements were not detailed. As in prior years, the evening is designed to blend high fashion with the museum's hangar setting, giving Seattle's design community a stage unlike any other in the region.
