All the Highlights From Dubai Fashion Week So Far
Dubai Fashion Week’s Spring/Summer 2027 edition opened on Thursday, October 22, with four designers presenting collections that explored pearls, nature-inspired patterns, crystal embellishments and structured tailoring. The opening night brought different approaches to the runway.
Organised by Dubai Design District (d3) in partnership with the Arab Fashion Council, the event runs until October 26, with established regional designers and emerging labels featured across the programme. Here are the key moments from the opening night.

Yousef Aljasmi opened the evening with a collection centred on pearls. Strands of the embellishment fell in soft drapes across structured silhouettes.
The collection gave pearls a more prominent role than a conventional finishing touch, allowing them to shape the look of each piece. The result was a polished presentation that reflected Aljasmi’s couture-focused approach.

Sara Pedram followed with a collection inspired by nature, featuring flowing gowns and dresses decorated with botanical and insect-inspired prints. The designs gave the runway a romantic feel, with the patterns adding character to the silhouettes.

Pallavi Puri brought equestrian influences to the runway, pairing them with teardrop-shaped crystals that caught the light as the models moved. The combination gave the collection a polished finish.

Krésha Bajaj brought the evening to a close with a collaboration featuring jewellery by Alok Lodha Jewels. Animal-print patterns, tailored blazers and suits gave the collection a stronger, more assertive direction.
Statement jewellery completed the looks, complementing the animal prints and structured tailoring. The combination of blazers, suits and patterns offered a fresh take on power dressing, with pieces that could work for both professional settings and more expressive occasions.
More runway presentations are scheduled before the event concludes on October 26. Alongside the shows, the dedicated Buyers Programme connects designers with buyers and other fashion industry professionals through personalised meetings and consultations.
As the week continues, the remaining collections will add to the picture of the ideas and design directions shaping Dubai Fashion Week’s Spring/Summer 2027 edition.

Dubai Fashion Week is coming back to Dubai Design District this fall, and the focus this time is firmly forward. The Spring/Summer 2027 edition will run from October 22 to 26, 2026, with the event organized alongside the Arab Fashion Council.

The event offers designers a chance to build visibility at home while introducing their work to audiences beyond the region. Established houses will show alongside independent labels and newer names, with buyers, press, and industry guests filling the schedule at d3.
Beyond the runway, the week is building in more ways to do business. A dedicated Buyers Programme is part of this year’s schedule, set up to connect designers directly with clients through private meetings, consultations, and access to samples. For a market that’s been pushing to turn attention into orders, that piece matters.

Applications to show are open now through the Dubai Fashion Week website. A Selection Committee will review portfolios, and the brief is clear: brands that reflect diversity, cultural expression, and more considered approaches to design. The focus is on designers from the region, while giving emerging names the opportunity to reach audiences beyond Dubai.
The October shows follow the Autumn/Winter 2026 edition, which featured THAT Concept Store, Lama Jouni, and Manish Malhotra among others. That season brought together designers, buyers, press, and other industry professionals, further strengthening Dubai Fashion Week’s position as an international fashion platform.

For SS27, expect the same combination of runway, presentations, and the meetings that happen between them. The full schedule and designer list haven’t been released yet, with further details expected as the official calendar is announced. With the dates now confirmed, all eyes will be on the October shows and the names set to take part.
