À l'Époque is a single open call for emerging designers, upcyclers, image-makers, and vintage curators. All disciplines apply through the form below. Please indicate which lane you are applying as. Selected participants are notified by email and confirm placement with a $150 participation fee.
All designers, upcyclers, stylists, and creative brands are welcome to apply for consideration in the show. Submission of an application does not guarantee selection.
À l’Époque is a thrifted runway. Every piece on the runway must be thrifted, vintage, upcycled, or otherwise sustainable. No new fabric or new clothing is permitted. Collections that include factory-new pieces will not be eligible.
Selected participants will receive an official acceptance email and will be asked to submit the $150 Designer Participation Fee to secure their placement in the runway showcase.
The participation fee helps cover production: venue, models, photography and videography, lighting, promotion, backstage coordination, and overall event production.
Participation fees are non-refundable once acceptance has been confirmed.
À l'Époque is curated. Submission does not guarantee selection. The production team will review every application and respond within ten business days of the closing date.
