After its inaugural edition in February 2023, the Dubai Fashion Week (DFW) is back for a stunning Spring/Summer 2024 (S/S 24) session next month.
From October 9 to 15, the Dubai Design District (d3) will transform into a sartorial haven with runway shows displaying some of the hottest new haute couture and ready-to-wear collections of women’s and men’s wear. That’s not all – Dubai Design District will be rife with pop-up events, exhibitions, parties, street fashion, workshops and other stylish dos.
Formerly known as the Arab Fashion Week, DFW underwent a rebranding earlier this year to level up to the glam factor of fashion capitals like London, Paris, New York and Milan.
The City of Gold is already a fashion force to reckon with in the Middle East – first men’s fashion week, a special Barbie collection by Jean Louis Sabaji in partnership with Mattel, choosing MENA’s first curvy model – Ameni Esseibi – as the Arab Fashion Week ambassador is just a handful of many milestones.
As with previous versions, this six-day S/S 24 edition is set to wow with a showcase of both regional and international designers such as Dubai-based labels Amato by Furne One, Dima Ayad, streetwear brand B HYPE and global couture giants Jean Paul Gaultier, Iris Van Herpen, Moschino, Weinsanto etc.
Also, expect a generous dose of modest fashion among the collections in tune with the demand for conservative yet chic clothing in the region.
Dubai Fashion Week is yet to drop its final schedule for S/S 24 but we’ll update you with the trending news from the runways, so add this page to your favourites.
