Slotting seamlessly into the running order of the global fashion industry’s busy (busy!) season, Dubai Fashion Week returns on Feb 1 to 6, 2025, ahead of the international fashion calendar mainstays such as Paris, Milan, New York, and London Fashion Weeks.

Returning to Dubai Design District (d3) to showcase the first autumn-winter 2025 collections of the season, the six-day event will feature 25 regional and international names – including the Dubai Fashion Week (DFW) debut of the red-hot brand Les Benjamins, as the first Correspondent Designer.

The previous two editions have also showcased a major global label (Italian designer Robert Cavalli and the American brand Carolina Herrera, respectively), with another expected to be announced as ‘guest of honour’ for this year’s schedule.

As the Correspondent Designer, the Istanbul-based brand Les Benjamins, will showcase its Autumn/Winter 2025 collection during a runway show on February 5 at the ‘prime time’ slot of 9pm (GST). The “Altai Turks/Altaicana” collection draws inspiration from the Altai people’s harmonious relationship with nature, their ancient traditions, and the mythology that shapes their cultural identity.

Other highlights for the upcoming edition will include DFW Members BLSSD, Dima Ayad, Lama Jouni, Michael Cinco, Weinsanto and Mrs Keepa.

The positioning of Dubai Fashion Week at the beginning of the A/W25 collections showcase of the continued its upwards trajectory of the initiative by the Arab Fashion Council and d3 to grow into a significant force that bridges global fashion talents.

Kicking off from February 1 to 6, it promises a hectic week of style, creativity, and networking as it takes the lead on the international fashion calendar, even ahead of the Paris, Milan, New York, and London Fashion Weeks.
