1/6  Cortina Fashion Weekend, 7 to 9 December 2018

If you normally wouldn’t put high-fashion on your family to-do list, let Cortina Fashion Weekend gently persuade you to change your mind this December. It’s incredibly glamorous, of course, but it’s also in aid of UNICEF, and there are plenty of enchanting activities for kids, alongside moments to gasp in wonder at couture creativity.   

Family-friendly highlights

• Celebrate the launch of Winter Season 2018 and see the city’s dazzling festive street decorations lit up for the first time.
• Take to the streets for Cortina Fashion Night, stroll the stores; sip cocktails; meet celebrity bloggers and influencers, and have a sneaky peek at what’s new – and set to be big – next year.
• Catch a Flash Mob eco-performance by the young team from Cortina Energym.
• Adopt a Valentino-attired Pigotte Doll in aid of UNICEF and offset the more self-indulgent side of Cortina Fashion Weekend.
