Dubai Fashion Week (DFW) will be staged from October 9-15 at the Dubai Design District (d3).

The upcoming event, founded by d3 and the Arab Fashion Council (AFC), will showcase spring-summer 2024 collections.

It will also host exclusive fashion shows, high-profile events, book signing, a trunk show in collaboration with Mall of the Emirates, capsule launches, brand activations and industry talks.

The official Dubai Fashion Week, launched in spring this year, has become a key event in the emirate’s social calendar, evolving from the legacy of Arab Fashion Week, which marked its 21st edition in October last year.

Regional designers will get the chance to meet and do business with international buyers and distributors. The seven-day event will also serve as a gateway for international talent and brands to continue expanding their global footprint through the regional market.

The upcoming edition will also have a strong sustainability focus, aligning with the UAE’s Year of Sustainability and the upcoming COP28 in Dubai.

Designers attending Dubai Fashion Week

More than 25 designers, representing over 12 countries, including a yet to be named New York-based designer, will attend.

The schedule will see original collections from homegrown designers Mrs. Keepa, Dima Ayad and Lama Jouni,
