The AW 24/25 programme opens with the esteemed designer duo Rizman Ruzaini – the label for which the iconic Naomi Campbell walked in the October edition of DFW (pictured); and closes with the d3-based label Designers&US.
Runway shows then get underway with an array of talented designers, including Anaya, Hummariff, Maison Sara Chraibi (a Paris Fashion Week designer making her Dubai Fashion Week debut), Choice, Riva, Selfmade, Michael Cinco, Zeena Zaki x Tryano, Reborn, Zey-ye, American Rag Cie X Fad Dubai, Emergency Room, Adolfo Dominguez, and Designers&US.
DFW Members BLSSD, Lama Jouni, Dima Ayad, and Mrs Keepa are also among the talents who will showcase their collections.
In addition to the shows, guests can expect a rich assortment of exclusive events, dinners and capsule launches across the city.
These include the Emergency Room X NOTHING capsule collection, the launch of an exclusive Bil Arabi Valentine’s set at Bloomingdales, the ETRO Party and industry panels by the Arab Fashion Council and Meta. Thread Talks 2.0 will feature notable speakers discussing crucial topics such as “Fashion Beyond Borders: Navigating Global Trends and Local Identities”, “The Impact of Clothing Choice on Behaviour”, and a conversation with Osama Chabbi on “Navigating the Industry on a Global Scale”.
Mohammed Aqra, Chief Strategy Officer of Arab Fashion Council commented on the launch, “Dubai Fashion leaves an imprint on the global fashion calendar with every edition. Each show will reflect to the world what Dubai has to offer on the fashion front – the high level of talent, creativity and courage. We are all set to make a splash with our new programme, which extends across the city, and really establish Dubai as a global fashion and creative capital aligning with the Arab Fashion Council’s mission.”
