Dubai Fashion Week (DFW), the Emirate’s official fashion extravaganza launches its Spring-Summer 2025 edition on 2nd September.
Kicking off a week-long celebration of season-defining trends and exclusive launches, DFW will reinforce the city’s status as a global fashion capital with a spotlight on established and emerging designers from around the world.
The first three days will focus on haute couture collections, starting with the designer duo to the stars Rizman Ruzaini on the opening day, followed by exclusive presentations from Spanish designer, Adolfo Dominguez, homegrown, and d3-based fashion icon Keepa.
Masterminded by French Egyptian designer Mariam Yeya, known for her avant-garde approach to fashion and innovative storytelling, Keepa will present the brand’s Spring-Summer 2025 collection, Need Therapy, with an exclusive short film. Premiering in collaboration with VOX Cinemas, the film highlights the often-ignored realities we face in everyday life, reminding the audience that they are not alone.
The haute couture segment of DFW will offer high fashion and personalised shopping experiences curated in partnership with leading retailers. The spotlight will then shift to ready-to-wear collections by over 30 brands from France, India, Indonesia, Italy, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Malaysia, Palestine, Russia, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom, including DFW members and new international and regional names.
On 6th September, world-famous Italian fashion house Roberto Cavalli will close the Spring-Summer 2025 (SS 2025) runway sessions with a luxury collection exclusively edited for DFW. The final day will focus on private appointments and a buyers’ market, providing an intimate setting for industry professionals to connect and collaborate.
Co-founded by Dubai Design District (d3) and the Arab Fashion Council, DFW marks a significant milestone with the debut of “La Moda Italiana: Dubai Edition.” This inaugural event will feature a three-day exhibition from 1st – 3rd September, offering buyers and attendees a rare opportunity to explore fine Italian craftsmanship and fashion in a nod to the growing cultural and economic ties between Italy and the UAE.
