Fashion school open days and application deadlines you shouldn’t miss in 2026
From London to Tokyo – a practical overview of key open days and academic deadlines for fashion students planning their next step.
By Wonne Scrayen
A new year tends to trigger big questions: Where should I apply? Am I ready? What am I even looking for? Whether you’re considering a BA, weighing up a master’s, or simply trying to understand what different institutions actually offer, timing matters more than most people realise.
This is a practical overview of upcoming fashion school open days and academic application deadlines for 2026 – from London and Paris to New York and Tokyo. Think of it as infrastructure rather than inspiration: dates, locations, formats, and links, all in one place. In this ongoing series, we’re also publishing guides to fashion prizes and awards, open calls and residencies, funding and grants, mentorship programmes, and a 2026 fashion week calendar.
