ANTALYA, TÜRKİYE | 4–8 NOVEMBER 2026
Antalya is preparing to welcome an international gathering where haute couture, artistic expression and business ambition converge. 
The International Fashion Ball 2026 & International Business Forum, taking place from 4 to 8 November, will bring together designers, artists, models, entrepreneurs and investors for a programme combining fashion presentations, professional networking and cultural discovery.
Founded by Anastasiya Pavelyeva, the event aims to establish connections across the international fashion and business communities. Its programme will feature an opening gala on 5 November, presentations by international designers and opportunities to develop partnerships across markets. Among the scheduled creative participants are Danna Karimova, Vedrana Milanovich, Asel Kids, Lyubov Pirogova, Any Amo, Oktay Seven, Minardi and Hakan Yryeşil.
A major artistic highlight will be the participation of Giuseppe Fata, the celebrated Italian head sculpture designer whose monumental creations transform hairstyling into wearable art. Drawing inspiration from Caravaggio, Bernini, Magna Grecia and sacred Italian history, Fata has developed a distinctive visual language between sculpture, fashion and architecture. His international distinctions include the Rose d’Or in Paris and the European Oscar of Fashion in Florence.
British fashion designer and film costume producer Venera Tabakin will bring a cinematic perspective to the programme, reflecting the relationship between couture, visual storytelling and red-carpet elegance. The International Business Forum on 6 November at The Sense De Luxe Hotel will address investment, technology, logistics, international taxation, company formation in Türkiye and health tourism. Together, the programme positions Antalya as a meeting point for creative excellence, international relationships and emerging commercial opportunities.
