The Symphony Fashion Show — one of Nashville’s most anticipated fashion events — returns April 28, 2026, to the Schermerhorn Symphony Center with veteran headliner, Oscar de la Renta. The show will highlight designs from the fashion house’s Fall 2026 collection. Proceeds benefit the Nashville Symphony and its education initiatives, including Accelerando and community outreach such as the Music in my Neighborhood series.
“We are beyond excited to welcome the exquisite Oscar de la Renta collection to the 2026 Symphony Fashion Show,” said event co-chairs Marci Houff and Laura Kimbrell. “Oscar de la Renta’s timeless designs have graced the Symphony Fashion Show runway three times before, and we are honored to once again host this incredible fashion house.”
Oscar de la Renta has supported Nashville and the Symphony Fashion Show for nearly two decades, headlining in 2007, 2008 and 2012. “We are thrilled to once again partner with the Nashville Symphony and present our Fall 2026 collection in the inspiring surroundings of Schermerhorn Symphony Center,” said Oscar de la Renta CEO Alex Bolen. “We are proud to support the Symphony’s mission to uplift this community. We are grateful to Gus Mayer and the event’s leadership for their partnership, and we look forward to a memorable evening in Nashville.”
Luxury boutique Gus Mayer will present the show for the 15th year. The retailer has helped secure top international fashion houses for the Symphony Fashion show including Pamella Roland, Prabal Gurung, Carolina Herrera, Brandon Maxwell, Lela Rose, and Monique Lhuillier.
