Bentonville Fashion Week® (BFW) returns September 18–19, 2026, to The Ledger in downtown Bentonville for Fall/Winter 2026, presenting this season’s theme, NOCTURNA—a celebration of fashion after dark, where mystery, transformation, dramatic expression, and creativity come alive on the runway.
Bentonville Fashion Week has grown to become the biggest fashion platform in Northwest Arkansas, with more than 30 designers participating this season. At the heart of BFW is a commitment to opening doors and creating opportunities across generations. Designers as young as 10 years old will share the platform with high school and college students, emerging designers, established professionals, independent labels, and boutiques.
The celebration begins Friday, September 18, with The Frisco Kid and Dr. Hasaan Rasheed serving as emcees. On Saturday, September 19, BFW welcomes the fabulous “The 2 Danielles,” Danielle Keller and Danielle Schaum of the People of Northwest Arkansas Podcast, to lead the evening’s festivities.
