Photos – DC Fashion Week Model Rehearsal & Fittings Set the Stage for Autumn/Winter 2026
Momentum is building for the upcoming DC Fashion Week as models gathered on Sunday, February 8, 2026, at the DoubleTree by Hilton Washington DC Crystal City for official rehearsals and designer fittings.
Under the direction of founder Ean Williams, the session marked a key preparation moment ahead of the highly anticipated Autumn/Winter 2026 showcase, taking place February 20–22, 2026.
The rehearsal floor reflected discipline and precision. Models practiced runway pacing, perfected turns, and synchronized lineup transitions to ensure seamless production flow. Every detail—from posture to timing—was refined to deliver a commanding presence on show night.
Meanwhile, fittings brought the collections to life. Designers and stylists made final tailoring adjustments to ensure each garment moved flawlessly and fit impeccably. The attention to structure, layering, and seasonal textures hints at a bold and sophisticated Autumn/Winter presentation.
With less than two weeks until showtime, the energy is focused and confident. If the rehearsal is any indication, DC Fashion Week’s Autumn/Winter 2026 production promises elevated fashion, polished execution, and a runway experience worthy of the capital’s style scene.
February 20–22, 2026 — the runway returns.
