Taking place right before fashion weeks in New York, London, Milan, and Paris, the event aims to provide a platform for designers in the region to be one of the first to lead the season’s style scene as well as get a chance to mingle with buyers and stakeholders in the realm.
The event is set to add to continue to add to Dubai’s flourishing image as a global fashion and art hub, showcasing the region’s relentless drive towards supporting creative endeavours, sustainable practices as well as showcasing cultural traditions through design.
Besides citywide catwalk shows and collection displays, those part of the industry can also look forward to panels, discussions, dinners, events, and networking opportunities.

Renowned Dutch creative Iris van Herpen and iconic French couturier Jean Paul Gaultier have also been guest designers to showcase their work at the DFW.
The official calendar for the September session, designer lineup, as well as ticketing information, are yet to be announced. Check back for more details.
