FIVE DAYS OF RUNWAY SHOWS, creative collaborations and unmissable shopping are coming to St James Quarter at the end of March. The Edinburgh STYLE event is back for 2026, with an expanded five-day programme running from 25 to 29 March. The event will bring together fashion, beauty and culture in the heart of the capital, with runway shows, trend-led talks, live music and in-store experiences. Two headline fashion moments will anchor the programme, bringing the drama and energy of the runway to the Quarter. On level B3 in the car park the underground vibe will be brought to life with a runway filled with breakers, skaters, influencers and models. On 28 March in the afternoon there will be a moment combining fashion, dance and music to entertain guests. The final show of this year’s event will be a special one in partnership with Business Beats Cancer Edinburgh, on behalf of Cancer Research UK, during the evening of 28 March. Susan Hewlett, Brand & Marketing Director at St James Quarter, said: “Edinburgh STYLE has become one of the most anticipated moments in our annual calendar, and we’re thrilled to be bringing it back for 2026 with a more diverse and inspiring cultural programme. From the return of our STYLE Stage masterclasses and panel talks to incredible in-store experiences, live music and three standout fashion shows, this year is all about celebrating creativity, confidence and self-expression. We are also especially proud to partner with Business Beats Cancer Edinburgh, supporting their vital fundraising efforts whilst providing cancer survivors with a meaningful platform to showcase their resilience and inspiring journeys.” stjamesquarter.com
