The SS26 show will conclude a week-long program of ZEGNA experiences in Dubai when it lands this summer. The brand also promises curated experiences that will allow fans of the brand in the city to discover ZEGNA like never before.
This will also incorporate VILLA ZEGNA, the brand's traveling event concept. Inspired by the original home of founder Ermenegildo Zegna, this curated pop-up promises to celebrate the craftsmanship and innovation that has shaped the brand since 1910. Following successful debuts in Shanghai and New York, the third international city to receive VILLA ZEGNA will be Dubai this summer, inviting visitors to discover an immersive experience that laces ZEGNA's sustainable and timeless DNA into something unmissable.
'As a company that has always looked beyond, we are excited to bring the artistry of Made in Italy to Dubai for the first time,' said Gildo Zegna, Chairman and CEO of Ermenegildo Zegna Group. 'Dubai today is the center of the world, a place where cultures converge, ideas flourish, and the future takes shape. It embodies the energy, vision, and innovation that define modern luxury,' Zegna added.

Leo Cisotta on bridging Italian innovation and UAE opportunity
As Italiacamp EMEA celebrates the second anniversary of the Dubai Hub for Made in Italy in 2025, General Manager Leo Cisotta reflects on what has been more than just a growth journey — it has been the shaping of a bridge between two innovation-driven economies. Founded in 2023 within the Dubai World Trade Centre, the Hub was established with a clear objective: to accelerate the internationalisation of Italian small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the UAE and wider region. Cisotta emphasised that the model is designed not simply to facilitate internationalisation but to ensure long-term, sustainable integration into one of the world's most competitive and fast-evolving markets. One of the most visible outcomes of this international shift is the Made in Italy Week in the UAE. Held in April 2025 in partnership with the Embassy of Italy in Abu Dhabi, the Consulate General of Italy in Dubai, and the Italian Cultural Institute, the multi-day initiative spanned Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah. It was more than a showcase of Italian excellence — it was a reflection of a nation in motion. Each day's programming celebrated Made in Italy not only in manufacturing, fashion, and food, but also as a manifestation of research, art, creativity, entrepreneurship, and craftsmanship. Cisotta stresses that partnerships have played a defining role in the Hub's evolution. He cites new collaborations with Mohammed Bin Rashid Establishment for SME Development (Dubai SME) and the Sharjah Research, Technology and Innovation Park (SRTIP) as examples of how Italiacamp is embedding itself in the UAE's innovation ecosystem. These alliances aim to foster entrepreneurship, facilitate SME growth. 'These are not just institutional alliances but strategic collaborations aligned with the national priorities of the UAE,' he explains. He also points to the importance of focusing on key sectors where Italian excellence is globally recognised — such as technological advancements, artificial intelligence, industrial innovation, fashion, luxury, and sustainability. By enabling Italian companies to bring their identity and know-how into dialogue with the UAE's development goals, the Hub is creating a new framework for cooperation — one where tradition and innovation reinforce each other. Looking ahead, Cisotta remains focused on creating impact beyond the commercial. 'What we're building in the UAE is a strategic platform that leverages Italian excellence and Emirati vision to create long-term, regional value.' For Italiacamp, the UAE represents more than a market. It's a strategic crossroads where economic diplomacy, cultural identity, and innovation intersect. And through the Dubai Hub for Made in Italy, that intersection is becoming a permanent path forward. As the Hub looks ahead to new initiatives and expansion across the Gulf, Cisotta remains focused on anchoring the Made in Italy as a forward-looking driver of regional value. 'Italy's identity lies in innovation, and innovation itself is inherently Italian,' he notes. 'It's a mix of history, creativity, and the new things our country is capable of imagining, creating, and producing every day.' This philosophy—of blending culture, business, and education into a living, adaptive model—is at the heart of Italiacamp's presence in the UAE. According to Cisotta: 'The future of Made in Italy lies in our ability to merge deep-rooted heritage with forward-thinking innovation. Italy's strength is not only in its craftsmanship and cultural legacy, but in its capacity to lead in emerging fields — from digital transformation to advanced manufacturing. By aligning this evolving identity with the UAE's vision, we are shaping a model of collaboration that is resilient and future-ready.'

25 weekend backpacks and carry-on totes for travelling light this Eid al Adha holiday
There's a fine art to travelling light. As Eid al Adha beckons and long weekend getaways loom, now's the time to start thinking about what to pack—but never without style. Enter the weekend bag: sleek, compact, and designed to move as effortlessly as you do. Whether you're a business traveller, laidback jetsetter, or a frequent flyer, the right weekend bag ensures you stay stylish on the move. No waiting at the baggage claim carousel–just grab your bag and go. The perfect weekend bag doesn't just carry your cabin essentials—it complements your look, streamlines your journey, and says something about the way you travel. Whether you're jetting off for a city escape, heading home for the holidays, or embracing a last-minute island retreat, your luggage should work as hard—and look as good—as you do. What to look for when investing in your first weekend bag? Think sculptural silhouettes in soft leather, elevated duffels with functional compartments, and lightweight totes that don't compromise on sophistication. A well-chosen weekend bag helps set the tone: it signals a sense of considered luxury, rather than last-minute chaos. When travelling light, it doesn't mean leaving behind your essentials, it's not about compromise but more about curation and being smarter about what you take with you. Choose multi-purpose pieces that you can easily layer and opt for comfort that does not skimp on polish. If you just can't picture yourself yet travelling with a weekend bag, turn to celebrity style inspiration, including Australian actor and Bottega Veneta ambassador Jacob Elordi and 'The Last of Us' lead actor Pedro Pascal, who have been spotted at the airports in stylish ensembles. Although air travel style has become a lost art form, these two have elevated the game with their Bottega Veneta Andiamo Maxi bags and designer-laden travel looks. To help you on your way, Emirates Man has curated an edit of elevated bags that make a strong case for travelling light this Eid, from classic luxury labels to budget-friendly contemporary favourites that marry form, function, and style for your next escape.
