Surround Sound of Fashion Returns with Official Casting Call for 2026

Chicago's fashion community is gearing up for the return of one of the city's most anticipated events. Surround Sound of Fashion has officially announced its model casting call as preparations begin for the 2026 production.

For nearly two decades, Surround Sound of Fashion has been redefining what a fashion show can be. Celebrating 18 years in production, the event has become known as the Midwest's premier fusion of fashion and music, creating an experience where the runway meets the stage in a way that is uniquely Chicago.

The official casting call will take place on Saturday, June 27, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the iconic Zhou B Art Center. Aspiring and experienced models alike will have the opportunity to showcase their talent and potentially earn a spot in this year's production. What separates Surround Sound of Fashion from traditional runway shows is its commitment to culture, creativity, and collaboration. The event highlights both emerging talent and nationally recognized designers while incorporating live performances from recording artists, creating an immersive experience that celebrates the connection between style and sound.

As the official closing event of Chicago Fashion Week, Surround Sound of Fashion continues to serve as a platform for aspiring models, designers, and creatives looking to gain exposure and work alongside established professionals in the fashion and entertainment industries.

More than just a fashion show, Surround Sound of Fashion was built with a mission to empower the next generation of talent. Every year, the production creates opportunities for individuals to develop their craft, build industry connections, and contribute to a larger creative movement.

With another year of fashion, music, and creative energy on the horizon, the 2026 edition promises to continue the legacy that has made Surround Sound of Fashion a staple in Chicago's cultural landscape.
