From the 9th to the 15th of October 2023, Dubai will transform into a hub of high-profile fashion shows, exclusive events, book signings, and more. It’s a week of style, innovation, and glamour you won’t want to miss!
Fashion takes over Dubai
Evolving from the legacy of Arab Fashion Week, with shows planned in line with the global fashion calendar, Dubai Fashion Week will provide an international platform for emerging and established designers to grow their brands. In turn, the event will play a role in cementing Dubai’s position among the global fashion capitals of Paris, New York, London, and Milan.
October’s DFW will present spring/summer 24 collections and include a dynamic, citywide calendar of high-profile fashion shows, exclusive events, book signings, exhibitions, brand pop-ups, and industry talks. Find the full calendar of events here.
Dubai Fashion Week first launched in the city in March 2023, cementing its status as the official fashion platform in Dubai.

Dubai’s year of sustainability
Fashion week events across the globe have had a heavy focus on sustainability in recent years. We’re also seeing a number of ethical fashion brands in the UAE paving the way for a more sustainable future of fashion.
Dubai Fashion Week will also have a strong sustainability focus, aligning with the UAE’s Year of Sustainability and the upcoming COP28 in Dubai, and will feature sustainable collections from designers such as PIPATCHARA.
