Moscow will play host to the much-anticipated Moscow Fashion Week, drawing together representatives from nearly 200 brands from Russia and around the world. This international gathering is known for its pivotal role in propelling young, innovative talent onto the global stage, featuring unique collections, emerging names, and creative interpretations of cultural influences within current fashion trends. It will serve as a launching pad for talented designers from emerging regions to gain global recognition. Experts from the Middle East will be closely following this prestigious event. During the last season, UAE designer Angelo Estera caused quite a stir at Moscow Fashion Week with his refined silhouettes and intricate craftsmanship, showcasing a touch of authentic Middle Eastern elegance. Angelo Estera highlighted the impeccable organization of Moscow Fashion Week, stating: «I was delighted and mesmerized and overwhelmed with the Moscow Fashion Week organization. I had a wonderful experience with the fashion shows, and the overall impression for me was amazing, and I was thankful for this beautiful experience having to showcase my Spring Summer 2025 collection in this region. And be able to enjoy new boundaries in terms of opportunities with our brand». The upcoming season promises a grand scale, with over 90 shows planned and additional promotional formats for fashion brands beyond the runway. The event will feature a bustling market where visitors can personally engage with designers' creations. Moscow Fashion Week is dedicated to discovering new fashion talents, supporting emerging designers, and honoring the cultural heritage of all participants - principles that resonate well with international participants. The event aims to foster new connections between fashion industries across borders, with the participation of fashion brands from China, Spain, South Africa, India, and numerous other regions. Moscow Fashion Week serves as a platform for emerging fashion brands to gain international recognition, notably, the brand Zuhat, known for its commitment to modest fashion. After gaining traction at Moscow Fashion Week, Zuhat successfully showcased at the Indonesian International Modest Fashion Festival in 2024, garnering international acclaim.

Dubai Fashion Week: What to expect at this year's event
Dubai Fashion Week is back with daily fashion shows and presentations, starting from Saturday until Thursday at Dubai Design District. The six-day event is seeking to position itself as the first stop on the womenswear fashion calendar. It will be the first to unveil autumn-winter 2025 collections, beating the so-called 'Big Four' fashion weeks in New York, London, Milan and Paris. So, aside from schedule-busting timetabling, what can be expected? While Dubai Fashion Week encourages fashion influencers and students to attend, it remains industry-only, with attendees required to register in advance. However, registration for the autumn-winter 2025 season is now closed. The prestigious first slot on the opening day will be the Iraqi haute couture designer Zeena Zaki, who has been crafting sultry evening wear since 2003. The next show will be by Manel, another evening wear name from the UAE. The Indonesian brand Toton, which mixes traditional Indonesian clothing and techniques with simple, fresh separates for a modern update, follows next. Day one will close with a parade of luxe bridalwear by UAE name Angelo Estera. Australian designer Paolo Sebastian will open the second day with his signature romantic take on evening wear, which includes layers of petticoats and lavish beadwork conjuring an Alice in Wonderland-type beauty. Meanwhile, French label Weisanto returns once again, with its theatrical take on tailoring. Launched in the UAE by Ingie Chalhoub in 2005, Etoile La Boutique will open with a show filled with the big-name designers it is famous for. It will then be followed by a presentation from BLSSD, the regional street luxe name that supports cancer survivors. Next up will be a show by the British-Iraqi designer Tara Babylon, featuring her riotously colourful knitted looks that veer to the fantastical. To close out the day will be the skilful tailoring of regional name Dima Ayed. Lebanese brand Mrs Keepa, beloved for cuts that shift around and away from the body, will open day four. It will be followed by Viva Vox – another returning name – that mixes rigorous tailoring with romance, such as an A-line mini dress finished with a ruffed collar that trails to the floor. Those who keep track of the Dubai fashion scene will be au fait with the cut-out wizardry of Lama Jouni, while powerhouse Michael Cinco will close out the day with one of his showstopping couture events. Following a show by That Concept Store, Russian label Saijamin will present its razor-sharp tailoring, followed by Molato from Morocco, known for its high-end kaftans. Turkish brand Les Benjamins, meanwhile, with its unique take on elevated streetwear will be the last show of the day. The grand finale will be a show by Indian designer Manish Malhotra, who has enjoyed a 30-year career across modelling, costume design, styling, filmmaking and couture. Known for his ability to deftly fold Western elements into traditional Indian pieces, he is famous for his swirling cuts, dazzling palette of colours and plenty of jaw-dropping handwork. A must-see for anyone with even a passing interest in what makes modern Indian fashion so fabulous, this promises to be a spectacular show.
