Calling All Sustainable Student Designers!

A fantastic opportunity for emerging designers to present your collection to an enthusiastic fashion audience!

Are you a currently enrolled student in fashion design or any other discipline? Have you already graduated, or do you simply have a passion for fashion? If so, this is your chance to showcase your creativity while championing sustainability!

CatWalk Pros Academy invites you to participate in our exciting Tierra Viento Fuego Agua – Panama: A Sustainable Fashion Event!

Tierra, Viento, Fuego, Agua 2026 is an international celebration of sustainable fashion, art, and design inspired by the four classical elements and their connection to nature and culture. Following three successful editions in Miami, the event will take place on April 25, 2026, at the City of the Arts in Panama City, in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture of Panama (MiCultura) and leading cultural organizations.

Produced by CatWalk Pros, the event brings together local and international designers, wearable art, and visual artists, including a special auction contribution by artist and photographer Victoria Murillo. Tierra, Viento, Fuego, Agua promotes conscious fashion, environmental awareness, and cultural exchange, with a portion of proceeds benefiting Fundación Hogar de las Niñas de la Capital, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering girls in Panama.
