FashionCon 5118

This year (2018), Elanthian Fashion Week will be replaced by FashionCon, a 3-day conference to celebrate fashion in Elanthia. Expect a weekend filled with lectures, workshops and discussion groups, as well as the opportunity to socialise with fellow delegates at parties and other fun events.

In another change of direction, the conference will be held against the backdrop of shimmering blue spires, majestic marble bridges, and beautiful gardens of Ta'Illistim
