International Fashion Festival

The International Fashion Festival (IFF) is Porto Montenegro's runway event, staging two evenings of fashion shows at the marina in Tivat. The 2026 edition is officially scheduled for 24 and 25 July, in the heart of the high season.

Porto Montenegro supplies the stage and much of the atmosphere. The marina village on Tivat's waterfront — berths lined with superyachts, boutiques and café terraces — is Montenegro's most polished address, and a runway set against that backdrop needs little extra dressing. In late July the marina is at its most animated, which is exactly when the festival stages its two nights.

Each evening is built around runway shows set at the marina, where regional designers share the programme with international names. The format keeps the focus squarely on the collections: an open-air catwalk by the water, two consecutive nights, and a cast of designers drawn from the region and beyond.

For those attending, the evenings run to a fashion-week rhythm — arrivals along the waterfront, the shows themselves after dark, and the marina carrying the crowd afterwards. It is as much a social occasion as a fashion one, and Tivat's summer scene treats it accordingly.

IFF is the fashion moment of Tivat's summer — an event whose setting supplies much of the glamour. Because entry is by invitation or ticket, the runway evenings keep an exclusive character that is rare among Montenegro's mostly free summer festivals, and that is very much part of the appeal for those who attend.

IFF 2026 takes place on 24 and 25 July at Porto Montenegro, Tivat. Entry is by invitation or ticket — plan ahead if you hope to attend, as the two runway evenings are the extent of the programme.
