Juror: Rafael Gomes

Creative Director
SCAD FASH Museum of Fashion + Film

This will be a FRAMED work exhibition in the Maloof Gallery.

We invite photographers working at the intersection of fashion, identity, and image to submit work for consideration in Fashion 2026, a juried exhibition celebrating the art of fashion photography in all its dimensions — editorial, documentary, conceptual, and beyond. Twenty-four images will be selected for display, and all submitted work must be original, exhibition-ready, and framed for hanging. No work exceeding 24 inches in any single dimension will be accepted. Selection of works for Fashion 2026 will be made by Rafael Gomes, Creative Director of SCAD FASH Museums.
