Dubai Fashion Week SS26 Will Take Place First Week of September
Dubai Fashion Week SS26 Will Take Place First Week of September Dubai Fashion Week will return this autumn, and it's striving to set the global tone rather than follow it. Dubai Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2026 is officially set to take place from 1-6 September 2025. As the first official fashion week on the global calendar, DFW will open the international Spring/Summer season ahead of New York, London, Milan, and Paris. Co-founded by Dubai Design District (d3), a creative hub from TECOM Group PJSC now celebrating over a decade of designer influence, and the Arab Fashion Council, Dubai Fashion Week promises six days of runway statements, retail buzz, and regional exposure. This edition builds on the success of February's Autumn/Winter 2025/26 shows, which featured international designers such as Manish Malhotra, Paulo Sebastian, and regional debuts including Les Benjamins. More than 30 designers from across the UAE, the wider Middle East, and international fashion hubs will present their collections. The event continues to position Dubai as a key platform for cross-cultural exchange, emerging talent, and innovation in fashion, with a focus on sustainability, ethical production, and inclusive design; an emerging fashion capital in its own right, not just a stopover. Beyond the catwalk, the DFW calendar will feature exclusive dinners, designer launches, and exclusive presentations, alongside an expansion of the Buyers Programme which will draw top fashion buyers from Europe, the US, and everywhere in between for private showroom previews and brand discovery. Designer applications are now open with submissions being reviewed by the DFW Selection Committee.
