Presenting ahead of New York Fashion Week and setting the tone for the global fashion calendar, Spring/Summer (SS) 2025 season’s Dubai Fashion Week (DFW) will be held from September 1-7, 2024 at Dubai Design District (d3), with a wider citywide events calendar.
Co-founded by Dubai Design District (d3), a global creative ecosystem by TECOM Group PJSC, and the Arab Fashion Council, Dubai Fashion Week represents the highest levels of excellence, foresight and diversity. 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.
The first three days of Dubai Fashion Week SS25 will focus on haute couture collections, presenting an array of high fashion and personal shopping experiences crafted collaboratively with distinguished retailers. The last three days will spotlight ready-to-wear collections by acclaimed designers such as Alia Bastamam, April & Alex, Benang Jarum, BLSSD, Dima Ayad, Lama Jouni, Mrs. Keepa, Born in Exile, Buttonscarves, Choice, Heaven Lights, Riva, Viva Vox, and Weinsanto, presented and supported by the Federation de la Haute Couture et de la Mode, the governing body behind Paris Fashion Week. The last day of the calendar will focus on private appointments and a buyers’ market, the organiser said in a press release.
Launching for the first time alongside high-profile runway shows and events is the International Buyers Programme, enabling retailers worldwide to enrol in DFW’s Tier Benefits. The programme facilitates expanding buyers’ reach and talent discovery through DFW and within Dubai’s vibrant fashion ecosystem, reinforcing the city as the region’s de facto fashion capital.
