FAQs

No, but as of ORW26, we are launching our Showroom Calendar which will aim at having buyers, agents and agencies connect with Norwegian brands in open showrooms. By appointment only.

We would love to hear from you. Please reach out to Olga Carolina Stausberg, our Head of Communications & Partnerships at olga@oslorunway.no.

The Official Schedule happens between Monday to Wednesday each season, and is when we are hosting press and international guests here in Oslo as well as the national press. The brands on the Official Schedule have been reviewed against our criteria by this year’s program committee, and have paid the Official Schedule fee. More information about criteria and fees is described in our application portal. The brands on the Official Schedule will be promoted in our channels and introduced to press and key guests. The events on the Off Schedule program can take place any time during the week - and we love it for its ability to make Oslo bustling with energy and happenings! The brands on the Off Schedule program have been reviewed by the Oslo Runway team and have paid a lower fee to be a part of Oslo Runway and to have their chosen event marketed in our channels. *More terms apply. Please see applications for the Official Schedule or for Off Schedule separately.

Oslo Runway’s main goal and passion is to be a national platform showcasing Norwegian design, fashion and lifestyle brands as well as new talents. We strive to work for broader exposure and exciting opportunities for the designers and talents we know come out of Norway towards both targeted markets and on a global scale. If you are a Norwegian living abroad, but work within the Norwegian market, or if you are of another nationality, but live in Norway and are building your brand here, we are excited to welcome you onto the Oslo Runway schedule.

We are passionate about the fact that there should always be open events during the week of Oslo Runway. Some will be on the Official Schedule, while some will be on the Off Schedule program. Open events might require registration or an entry ticket - please check the program and line-up once it’s dropped on our web page and in our channels (in June, date TBA).

Please reach out to olga@oslorunway.no our Head of Communications & Partnerships. We’re looking forward to connecting.

Oslo Runway is excited to host international press and guests as well as national press during the week, while the brands curate their own guestlists (depending on venue/capacity). If you are relevant press, please reach out to info@oslorunway.no. If you’d like to obtain regular attendance, please reach out to the brands directly.

The brands on the schedule are responsible for booking their own backstage crews. Many of them choose to work with our official hair partner. Please reach out directly to the brands to request makeup work.

You are welcome to submit an open application if you are interested in an internship within communication and social media, or AI and technology. Should we be looking for new interns or team members, this will also be announced through our social media channels and on our website.

For the time being, we’re unfortunately not taking on volunteers due to capacity. This may change in the future, but if we were to look for anyone to join our team, it would be announced broadly through our social media channels as well as on our website.

The brands on the schedule are fully responsible for casting their own models for their shows or presentations. This means you or your agents will have to reach out directly to the brands you’d like to work for to request a casting invitation. For some previous seasons, Oslo Runway has helped the NEXT brands in their casting process by arranging a big casting day for any models signed in the Norwegian agencies - if we were to host another casting day again for future seasons it would be announced on our socials and on our web page.

The upcoming season of Oslo Runway, ORW26, runs from August 31 to September 5.

The Oslo Runway events are happening all over the city of Oslo, as well as within the Oslo region. We have seen a wide range of kinds of venues used for both runway shows and events, and as Norwegians, we love to take advantage of the beautiful nature we have within a distance of easy access.

Oslo Runway is the leading Norwegian platform to showcase Norwegian fashion, design and new talents, operating at the intersection of fashion, art and culture. We work with Norwegian brands and the Norwegian fashion industry throughout the whole year, and every early autumn, we host our annual Oslo Runway event. The event spans across a week filled with runway shows, dinners, community gatherings, happenings and parties. Oslo Runway is the Norwegian answer to a Fashion Week. Applications to join the Oslo Runway Official Schedule are open between announced dates in January and March. The brands who apply to join the Official Schedule are reviewed by the Program Committee of the year.
