Dubai Fashion Week has announced its return for its Spring/Summer 2025 showcase this September.

Kicking off the global SS25 fashion calendar, Dubai Fashion Week will take place from September 1 to September 5 ahead of New York Fashion Week, London Fashion Week, Milan Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week.

For its third iteration, members of the DFW committee have carefully selected a wide range of local, regional, and international designers who will offer an innovative and inspirational take on the latest trends.

With designs that celebrate diversity and cultural history as well as sustainable collections that prioritize ethical principles, DFW will further highlight Dubai’s expanding contributions to the global fashion and creative scene.

What is Dubai Fashion Week?

D3 and the Arab Fashion Council jointly founded DFW last year, which evolved from the well-known and previously established Arab Fashion Week. This SS25 edition will fall in line with the Arab Fashion Council’s 10th anniversary.

Previous Dubai Fashion Weeks gave us some iconic moments from the runway queen herself, Naomi Campbell. Last year also included a special presentation by Carolina Herrera, and many notable collaborations that were unveiled to us. This included Mrs. Keepa Studio collaborating with Sotheby’s Dubai, and even Bil Arabi collaborating with Bloomingdale’s.

Raising the bar, the SS25 edition of Dubai Fashion Week will be curated with a selective line up of talented designers. The group of designers are selected by a distinguished panel of industry experts. The members of the panel evaluate each brand by categories such as: creativity, innovation, relevance and craftsmanship.

Now that we know the Dubai Fashion Week dates, it’s time to set out calendars to make sure we don’t miss any iconic fashion moments to come. There will be more information soon on the official September calendar, the line-up of designers and exclusive events in Dubai.
