Dubai Fashion Week will return to Dubai Design District (d3) from February 1–6, 2026, unveiling Autumn/Winter 2026/27 collections with a renewed focus on creativity, cultural exchange and global industry impact. 

Following the success of the Spring/Summer 2026 season, marked by a standout mix of international and regional designers, immersive citywide showcases, a dynamic Buyers Programme, and the fourth edition of Thread Talks, the upcoming season will build on that momentum with an even more ambitious vision. The upcoming edition promises an elevated roster of designers from the UAE, wider MENA region, India, France, Italy and the UK, each bringing their own aesthetic codes and cultural narratives to the Dubai runway.

For Autumn/Winter 26/27 Dubai Fashion Week is highlighting its commitment to shaping meaningful industry dialogue. Guests can expect an inspiring programme of runway shows, curated presentations and high-impact talks exploring the future of sustainability, inclusivity, craftsmanship and digital innovation. Surrounding the schedule, exclusive collection launches, invitation-only dinners and curated gatherings will encourage deeper connections between designers, editors, celebrities and global fashion leaders.

The citywide Buyers Programme remains a defining pillar of DFW, drawing leading buyers from Europe, the US and Asia. Through private presentations, showroom access and early collection previews, it offers designers a vital platform to expand their international reach and forge new retail relationships.

Applications for designers wishing to participate are now open at dubaifashionweek.org, where submissions will be reviewed by the DFW Selection Committee. With its strong regional identity and globally engaged audience, Dubai Fashion Week continues to evolve into a meeting point for visionaries shaping the future of fashion.
