Oslo Runway is a national showcase platform established in 2015, and has since become a key arena for Norwegian designers as well as fashion and lifestyle brands across both business and cultural sectors. Through its two annual flagship events - Oslo Runway Business Summit in May and Oslo Runway Fashion Week in August - the platform brings together and elevates Norwegian designers and brands.

Oslo Runway also presents the industry awards Oslo Runway Tribute Award, Brand of the Year and Person of the Year, in addition to running two dedicated talent initiatives: Talent Award by Steen & Strøm, which highlights graduating students within fashion and art, and Oslo Runway NEXT, a support program for emerging Norwegian fashion and lifestyle brands.

The season of ORW26 kicks off on August 31, with the Official Schedule running until September 2, followed by the Off Schedule program, with events all over the city throughout the rest of the week.
