Everything you need to know about Dubai Fashion Week

This year’s announcement was made on a billboard in Times Square.

Dubai Fashion Week has become a pivotal event in the international fashion calendar, showcasing the region’s creativity and fashion excellence. Founded by Dubai Design District (d3) and the Arab Fashion Council (AFC), DFW has evolved into a global force that unites talents across borders, aiming to catapult the region’s fashion industry onto the global stage.

DFW’s journey began as a platform for regional designers to connect with international buyers and distributors, fostering partnerships and business opportunities. Over the years, it has become a symbol of Dubai’s growing status as a fashion capital, standing shoulder to shoulder with prominent fashion weeks in London, Milan, New York, and Paris.

In a groundbreaking move, DFW has announced its plan to lead the way in the global fashion calendar. The upcoming Autumn/Winter edition, scheduled for 4 to 8 February, and the Spring/Summer edition, scheduled for 10 to 15 October, aim to attract and engage potential buyers and investors earlier in the fiscal year, creating a unique window for global visibility.

The announcement of these dates was no ordinary affair. DFW caught the attention of the world by unveiling its schedule through an eye-catching billboard in Times Square, New York.

The 2023 edition of DFW left a lasting impression, featuring an exclusive presentation by Carolina Herrera and a runway appearance by Naomi Campbell for Rizman Ruzaini. The upcoming AW24-25 edition promises to build on this momentum, with more than 20 designers from around the world, including a secret surprise from a world-renowned New York-based fashion designer. The event will feature exclusive events, curated showrooms, capsule launches, brand activations, networking opportunities, and insightful panel discussions. The dynamic citywide calendar of high-profile fashion shows will provide a platform for each designer to bring their unique vision to the runway.

As Dubai Fashion Week 2024 unfolds, it promises to be an unforgettable journey filled with inspiration, innovation, and style. So secure your passes now and join us in the front row.
