The story

Mados Infekcija in Vilnius

Mados infekcija, the Baltic region's largest fashion festival, fills Vilnius each spring with two days of runway shows from established and emerging designers, staged in unconventional architectural settings. Its Injection young-talent contest has shaped a generation of Lithuanian fashion designers. Funded partly by the Lithuanian Council of Culture and Vilnius Municipality, it has grown over close to three decades from an underground gathering into the anchor event of the region's fashion calendar.

Vilnius turns into a runway city each spring when Mados infekcija, literally Fashion Infection, stages the Baltic region's largest fashion festival over an intense two-day weekend.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Rather than working from a fixed venue or formula, the festival reinvents its runway setting each year, having staged shows on rooftops and inside striking public buildings, treating the city's architecture as part of the fashion presentation itself

02

The mystery stays covered

Its Injection contest gives emerging designers a genuine platform rather than a token sideshow

03

The city starts moving

The festival also blurs boundaries between fashion and contemporary art, folding styling showcases and installation-like staging into its runway programme rather than presenting a conventional catwalk show alone
