In April 2026, BETTINA took part in the first edition of Albania Fashion Week (#AFW26) in Tirana. Designer Bettina Alili Huseni presented the house on the runway at Downtown One, 10–12 April 2026.
The event
Albania Fashion Week 2026 was organised by the Albanian International Fashion Federation (AIFF), with the support of the Municipality of Tirana, and held on the thirty-ninth floor of Downtown One. The three-day programme marked Albania’s place on the international fashion-week calendar, with designers from Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Montenegro and Italy.
Étoile on the runway
BETTINA showed the Étoile Spring/Summer 2026/27 collection — the debut of the brand’s couture line. The collection is inspired by the urban atmosphere of Paris: structured silhouettes and corsetry balanced with light, fluid volumes. Materials include lace, organza, tulle, velvet and silk, with hand-applied flowers, crystals and luminous detail.
Every piece is made in Kosovo. The Ferizaj showroom opened in 2022; the brand was founded during Bettina Alili Huseni’s studies at the European University of Skopje.
