Dubai Fashion Week is set to return to Dubai Design District from 1 to 6 February 2026, bringing a fresh wave of creativity as it positions itself ahead of the major fashion capitals.
The upcoming Autumn Winter 2026/27 edition aims to strengthen the city’s role as a global fashion hub and showcase a diverse mix of regional and international talent.
Co founded by Dubai Design District and the Arab Fashion Council, the platform continues to shape the industry narrative from the Middle East. Designers from the UAE, the wider MENA region, India, France, Italy, and the UK will present collections that spotlight cultural stories and emerging trends.
The new season builds on the momentum of the Spring Summer 2026 edition, which featured immersive experiences across the city, designer showcases, the Thread Talks series, and a strong Buyers Programme that supported brand visibility and commercial growth.
The AW26/27 programme promises a dynamic lineup of runway shows, curated presentations, and industry discussions focused on sustainability, inclusivity, craftsmanship, and digital fashion. Exclusive launches, intimate dinners, and networking events will add to the week’s creative and commercial appeal.
Beyond the main venue, the citywide showcase will extend to private presentations and collection previews through an expanded Buyers Programme. The initiative will connect global buyers from Europe, America, and other key markets with designers aiming to widen their international footprint.
Dubai Fashion Week continues to reinforce its standing as a platform where creativity meets business, solidifying Dubai’s position in the global fashion conversation.
