From Lagos to Tallinn to Paris, the runway finished in the club this Halloween weekend. Lagos Fashion Week closed its Saturday program with the Heineken Lagos Fashion Week After Party on October 31 (Lagos Fashion Week). Tallinn Fashion Week moved its official afterparty to Maison Dio on October 30 (Tallinn Tonight). In Paris, Les Bains billed its Halloween ball as “Murder On The Runway” (queer.paris). Here’s how fashion took over the club in four cities.

Lagos: what happened after the shows?

Lagos Fashion Week’s 2026 edition runs under the theme “CRAFTED: Heritage. Innovation. Circular Futures,” per Fashion Police Nigeria. Saturday’s official schedule went straight from the runway into the night. Shows from Mariah Bocoum, Elie Kuame, Y’wande and Eki Silk led into a 9 p.m. block with Fruché, Ugo Monye and a Heineken presentation. The Heineken After Party was listed for 10:30 p.m. (Lagos Fashion Week).

Tallinn: where did fashion week go after the last look?

Tallinn Fashion Week’s autumn 2026 edition ran October 28–30 at T1 Venue, with the Golden Needle (Kuldnõel) gala on opening night and Karl-Christoph Rebane closing the program on Friday at 8:30 p.m. (T1 Tallinn). The official afterparty followed at Maison Dio on Rävala puiestee, running from 9 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Saturday (Tallinn Tonight).

Paris: what was “Murder On The Runway”?

It was Diamanda Callas’s Halloween ball at Les Bains, the famous Paris club, on October 31 from 9:30 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. DJs Himeji, Izae and Jean Biche were on the decks (queer.paris). The theme says it all: a runway walk, a ballroom crowd and a costume brief built around fashion.

Glasgow: why relaunch a fashion festival with a club night?

Scotland Re:Design used a Halloween party to relaunch the Scottish Fashion Festival. “Fashion Icons” at Saints of Ingram in Glasgow asked guests to come as their favorite fashion icon, with a Best Dressed competition on the night (Eventbrite).

The Nightlife Report take

The pattern is clear. Fashion weeks big and small now treat the afterparty as part of the show. It’s where the brands meet the city, where the models and stylists finally relax, and where most of the best photos get taken. If you’re producing an event, give the afterparty a dress brief as clear as the runway’s. If you’re attending, dress for the flash, not the daylight.
