Dubai Fashion Week will return to Dubai Design District from 1 to 6 February with an expanded Autumn Winter 2026 27 edition, reinforcing the city’s growing influence on the global fashion calendar and its role in shaping the future of the industry.
As the first fashion week worldwide to unveil Autumn Winter 2026 27 collections, the event continues to distinguish itself through early market access, international reach, and a strong focus on innovation and commercial relevance. This season will bring together local, regional, and global designers, positioning Dubai as a key gateway between emerging creativity and established fashion markets.
Italian luxury fashion house Alberta Ferretti will open the week, setting the tone for a programme that extends beyond runway presentations. Alongside fashion shows, global brands and industry stakeholders will host exclusive collection launches, offering deeper engagement with buyers, media, and retailers.
Co-founded by Dubai Design District, part of TECOM Group PJSC, and the Arab Fashion Council, Dubai Fashion Week has evolved into a platform for nurturing design talent and accelerating international growth. Organisers say the upcoming edition reflects increasing demand for diverse voices, stronger retail connections, and experience-led fashion formats.
The Autumn Winter 2026 27 Buyer’s Programme will welcome leading international buyers, including major global platforms such as Revolve, as well as department stores, concept retailers, and digital marketplaces. The initiative is designed to identify commercially ready brands with global potential and connect them directly with key decision-makers.
Pre-accreditation for Dubai Fashion Week Autumn Winter 2026 27 is now open through the official website.
