Fashion lovers of Phoenix, mark your calendars! On October 20, 2026, the Phoenix Art Museum will roll out the runway for an unforgettable one-night-only evening with CFDA fashion designer Christian Siriano, one of the most celebrated names in American fashion.
The special night celebrates the 60th anniversary of the museum’s renowned fashion collection and the Arizona Costume Institute, and Siriano is bringing the sparkle: guests will enjoy a curated runway show of his Spring/Summer 2027 collection, fresh off New York Fashion Week, plus the grand unveiling of a newly commissioned gown he designed especially for the museum’s fashion collection.
The evening also marks the launch of Colorwear, the museum’s newest original fashion publication exploring the history of its beloved fashion holdings, with Siriano’s commissioned gown gracing the cover. Attendees can take home a copy pre-signed by the designer, mingle at a cocktail reception, and hear Siriano speak in a live Q&A.
Tickets are on sale now: $250 for the public ($175 for Arizona Costume Institute members) for the full runway show and reception, and $100 for the reception only. A signed copy of Colorwear can be added to either option. It is a historic night for fashion in Phoenix, and seats are sure to go fast.
