A Beautiful Mess x State of Fashion 2026
14 May – 28 June
A Beautiful Mess is proud to be the hospitality partner of the international State of Fashion Biennale 2026.
“Available to Promise” is a term used in the fashion industry to indicate product availability – but what promises does fashion actually make, and to whom? This question lies at the heart of this year’s biennale.
From May 14 until June 28, 2026, State of Fashion takes over the city of Arnhem with exhibitions, talks, conversations and presentations exploring the hidden systems behind the fashion industry. Under the title “Available to Promise; Hidden Systems, Shared Futures,” this edition focuses on logistics, technology, cultural networks, sustainability, innovation and fair practices within fashion.
Visitors can book a guided tour of the exhibition at the Eusebius Church (Wednesday through Sunday) and combine their visit with a special State of Fashion x A Beautiful Mess hospitality package.
The biennale takes place across several locations in Arnhem, including the Eusebius Church, Rozet and other partner venues. The program at A Beautiful Mess offers a unique opportunity to connect with international designers, researchers and creative thinkers shaping the future of fashion.
