Dubai Fashion Week Announces Global Lineup For AW’25/26 Edition

Dubai Fashion Week (DFW) returns from February 1st to the 6th, 2025, at Dubai Design District (d3), showcasing Autumn/Winter 2025/2026 collections and leading the global fashion calendar ahead of Paris, Milan, New York and London. This season features over 30 international brands, with designers from France, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco, Russia, Turkiye and the UAE.

The week kicks off with the Instagram DFW Party and builds on past initiatives like the Round Table discussions. “The Middle East’s growing demand for luxury fashion and its diverse craftsmanship continues to position it as a thriving hub for design talent,” Khadija Al Bastaki, senior vice president of Dubai Design District, tells SceneStyled.

This edition marks the debut of several global names, including Australian couture house Paolo Sebastian and Istanbul’s Les Benjamins. New York-based British-Iraqi designer Tara Babylon will join for the first time with her signature avant-garde evening wear, while Indian couture house Manish Malhotra closes the event in the grand finale. Returning favourites like BLSSD, Michael Cinco, Lama Jouni and Dima Ayad will also showcase their collections.

Alongside the runway shows, the program also includes exclusive events hosted by That Concept Store and Etoile Boutique, as well as activations and events happening across the city. The final day will host private presentations for buyers, offering an exclusive look at collections from a lineup of regional and global talent. “Dubai Fashion Week continues to demonstrate the city’s ability to unite a global community, from its diverse roster of designers to the international buyers it attracts,” Mohammed Aqra, chief strategy officer of the Arab Fashion Council, adds.
