A stellar line-up of regional and global designers will descend on Dubai this Sunday, February 4, for the Autumn/Winter 24–25 Dubai Fashion Week (DFW). The upcoming fashion programme brings an exciting array of new names to Dubai Fashion Week’s runways alongside leading labels, plus a calendar of exclusive presentations, events, and brand activations to inspire and attract the global fashion ecosystem.
Co-founded by Dubai Design District (d3) and the Arab Fashion Council, DFW is Dubai’s official fashion week, positioning Dubai among the major fashion capitals of the world—New York, Paris, London, and Milan. It will continue at its primary residence in d3, a global creative ecosystem part of TECOM Group PJSC, with experiences stretching across the city.
Following the announcement last month, broadcast on billboard screens in Times Square, New York City, DFW’s new schedule sees it leading the global fashion calendar this season and setting the tone for the international fashion agenda. The AW 24/25 programme opens with the esteemed designer duo Rizman Ruzaini—the label for which the iconic Naomi Campbell walked in the October edition of DFW—and closes with the d3-based label Designers&US.
Runway shows then get underway with an array of talented designers, including Anaya, Hummariff, Maison Sara Chraibi (a Paris Fashion Week designer making her Dubai Fashion Week debut), Choice, Riva, Selfmade, Michael Cinco, Zeena Zaki x Tryano, Reborn, Zey-ye, American Rag Cie X Fad Dubai, Emergency Room, Adolfo Dominguez, and Designers&US. DFW Members BLSSD, Lama Jouni, Dima Ayad, and Mrs Keepa are also among the talents who will showcase their collections.
While d3’s global creative ecosystem by TECOM Group PJSC is the home and central hub of Dubai Fashion Week, some designers will – for the first time – showcase in different locations around Dubai, including Mrs Keepa at Sotheby’s Dubai. In addition to the shows, guests can expect a rich assortment of exclusive events, dinners and capsule launches across the city. These include the Emergency Room X NOTHING capsule collection, the launch of an exclusive Bil Arabi Valentine’s set at Bloomingdales, the ETRO Party and industry panels by the Arab Fashion Council and Meta. Thread Talks 2.0 will feature notable speakers discussing crucial topics such as “Fashion Beyond Borders: Navigating Global Trends and Local Identities”, “A conversation with Osama Chabbi, navigating the industry on a global scale” and “The Impact of Clothing Choice on Behaviour.”
