Dubai Fashion Week (DFW) is officially making its grand return for the Spring/Summer 2026 season from 1–6 September 2025, once again taking place at its dynamic home in Dubai Design District (d3). As the first stop in the global fashion calendar—preceding New York, London, Milan, and Paris—DFW reaffirms its status as a global trendsetter and creative powerhouse.
This six-day fashion celebration will spotlight the region’s growing influence on the global stage, bringing together bold voices and diverse cultures. Following a highly charged Autumn/Winter 2025 edition—highlighted by appearances from supermodels and a buzz-worthy finale by Manish Malhotra—DFW promises to elevate expectations even further.
More than 30 leading and emerging brands from across France, Italy, India, Lebanon, Libya, the UAE, the UK, and other nations will take to the runway. Each label will present their unique perspectives on culture, sustainability, and fashion innovation, adding depth and diversity to this global platform.
DFW continues to be co-founded by Dubai Design District and the Arab Fashion Council, offering regional designers a valuable spotlight while allowing international brands to build strong ties with buyers and influencers worldwide. This season introduces an expanded Buyers Programme, attracting top buyers from Europe, the U.S., and major fashion capitals for exclusive previews and brand experiences designed to foster both visibility and commercial growth.
Beyond the catwalk, Dubai Fashion Week transforms the city into a style destination with private dinners, brand activations, launch parties, and immersive experiences throughout Dubai. These citywide events complement d3’s milestone of over ten years of creative leadership, underlining Dubai’s continued rise as a global fashion capital.
Applications for designers are now open, and all entries will be evaluated by the DFW Selection Committee, ensuring that only the most innovative and visionary creators earn a place on this prestigious stage.
