Runways, Glam & Afterparty Energy: My FW26/27 Fashion Week Diary

Attending Mercedes-Benz Bucharest Fashion Week felt like stepping into the future of fashion — and honestly, Bucharest owned that moment. For five days (March 24–28), the city transformed into a full-on creative playground where fashion, culture, and innovation collided in the most effortless way.

This FW26/27 edition wasn’t just about runway shows — it was about energy, connection, and that global fashion conversation we all crave.

Organized by the Council of Fashion Designers of Romania, the event continues to position Bucharest as a serious fashion hub in Eastern Europe, and after experiencing it firsthand… I can confirm: it’s happening.

From the iconic setting at the Muzeul Național de Artă al României to the mix of established and emerging designers, everything felt curated but still super alive. Over 20 designers from Romania and across Central and Eastern Europe brought their vision to the runway — and the diversity in aesthetics? Unreal. From minimal architectural silhouettes to bold couture statements, every show told a different story.

One of the standout concepts for me was Sightless Fashion — a multisensory experience that pushed the boundaries of how we perceive style. It made fashion feel deeper, more emotional, more inclusive. And honestly, we need more of that.

Now let’s talk personal moment ✨I went for curly hair (soft but defined, very main character energy), paired with elegant evening makeup — think glowing skin, sculpted eyes, and a subtle glossy lip. The vibe? Polished but still effortless.

My outfits was from Aleha Toncea Atelier and Iselin Dimitri Store — and it was exactly what the moment needed. Structured, modern, and just bold enough to stand out without trying too hard. It felt like me, but elevated for fashion week energy.

Between shows, the Influencer House at Corinthia became that go-to space where content creators, designers, and creatives connected, created, and recharged. It was giving community, not competition — which I loved.

And then… the finale.

The closing night at MBBFW x IQOS After Party curated by The Brunch Affair was everything. Hosted by The Brunch Affair in partnership with IQOS, the vibe was electric. Music, fashion people, that end-of-week glow — it felt like a celebration of creativity in its purest form. Everyone was there, everyone was shining, and the energy? unmatched.

What I loved most about this edition is how it balanced innovation and authenticity. Whether it was celebrating 140 years of Mercedes-Benz or spotlighting next-gen designers, everything felt intentional and forward-thinking.
