Dubai Fashion Week (DFW) has confirmed that it will return to Dubai Design District from 1-6 September 2025 for its Spring/Summer 2026 edition. Coming off the high that was the Fall/Winter showcase, the September edition aims to push the norms of fashion’s futures while also honouring cultural heritage and craftsmanship.
This season’s lineup will host 25 brands from across the globe—including the UAE, Malaysia, Canada and more—presenting their Spring/Summer 2026 ready-to-wear and haute couture. Making their runway debut at Dubai Fashion Week are German brand Maison Novague, Netherlands-based brand Chic & Holland, and Croatian brand XD Xenia.
Beyond the runway, we see the return of the Buyers Programme. Introduced at the previous Dubai Fashion Week, this initiative connects designers with regional and international retailers. This edition of DFW will also see Threads Talks V4.0—a series of panels, discussions, and seminars spotlighting industry trends and challenges.
As DFW continues to expand its horizons and its global reach, the runways are surely going to be painted with a mix of creative expression and cultural aesthetics. And with a lineup of emerging talent, there’s plenty to look forward to.
