The countdown is officially on.
Dubai Fashion Week (DFW), the region’s most influential fashion platform and one of the fastest-rising names on the global style circuit, is set to return for its Spring/Summer 2026 edition from September 1 to September 6, 2025, firmly securing its position at the forefront of the international fashion calendar.
Held at its long-standing home, Dubai Design District (d3), the city’s beating heart of creativity, now celebrating over a decade of design innovation, DFW is once again poised to launch the global Spring/Summer season. As the very first stop before the famed Big Four (New York, London, Milan, and Paris), all eyes will turn to Dubai this September as designers, tastemakers, and fashion insiders descend on the city for a celebration of creativity, culture, and cutting-edge style.
This edition follows a high-energy FW25/26 season in February, which saw a show-stopping finale by Indian couturier Manish Malhotra, international runway appearances, and a powerful spotlight on emerging regional talent, including Les Benjamins. February’s schedule also featured immersive brand activations and exclusive citywide events, solidifying DFW’s status as more than just a fashion showcase, but as a driving cultural force.
The upcoming SS26 edition is set to elevate expectations, with a curated line-up of over 30 standout designers from across the globe, spanning France, India, Italy, Lebanon, Libya, the UAE, and the UK. With a mission rooted in sustainability, inclusivity, and cultural narrative, DFW continues to amplify designers who redefine conventional boundaries.
From exclusive off-schedule events and designer dinners to global brand presentations across the city, this season will unfold as a multidimensional fashion journey. Attendees can anticipate appearances from globally renowned guest designers, private collection previews, and a dynamic Buyers Programme that connects leading international retailers from Europe, the US, and beyond with the region’s brightest design talent.
Founded by Dubai Design District (d3) and the Arab Fashion Council, Dubai Fashion Week is rapidly becoming a pivotal voice in global fashion conversations, from the Middle East to the world.
