Malaysian brand Rizman Ruzaini opened Dubai Fashion Week with its 2226 demi-couture collection Rimba. Taking inspiration from the foliage of the jungle, the pieces featured heavy floral-inspired embroidery. While others drew visual cues from the Malayan tiger's stripes or kept a subtle, earthy colour palette.

Heba Jasmi

Emirati designer Heba Jasmi showcased her SS26 collection titled Born to Rise. Priortising feminine sillouhettes and a soft colour palette, the gowns spoke to women who favour the glamourous. The made-to-order pieces struck a delicate balance between regional taste and global trends.

Michelle Ferrer and Erick Bendaña created a visionary collection that fused fashion with jewellery. A central symbol was the Field of Heaven meteorite. Certified by Star International and supported by Hamilton Reserve Latam, the piece was surrounded by 58 natural emeralds. It was complemented by a corset made from 3D printing in bioplastics, turning the universe into wearable art.
