Presenting ahead of New York Fashion Week and setting the tone for the global fashion calendar, DFW will be held from the 1st to the 7th of September in Dubai Design District (d3), with a wider citywide events calendar.
More than 30 brands from France, India, Indonesia, Italy, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Malaysia, Palestine, Russia, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom will showcase streetwear and haute couture collections alongside internationally acclaimed guest designers.
The event’s footprint also extends citywide, with 40 invite-only presentations, private dinners and collection launches hosted by global brands and industry stakeholders.
“Dubai is the pulsating heart of fashion in the region, and Dubai Fashion Week is disseminating its rhythm globally,” said Khadija Al Bastaki, Senior Vice President of d3(d3).
“The collections and designers displayed on our runway inject diversity into the global fashion dialogue and demonstrate the powerful talent emerging within our region. DFW has unveiled incredible opportunities, partnerships and global networks to participating designers and buyers, and we look forward to pushing the envelope further with this latest edition that includes a new buyer’s platform, an expanded venue, more events and an extended schedule of designers. Dubai Fashion Week will once more raise the bar for fashion excellence and cement Dubai among the global fashion capitals, he continued.
