Dubai Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2027 at d3

Dubai Fashion Week returns to Dubai Design District (d3) from 22 to 26 October 2026 with its Spring/Summer 2027 edition. Co-founded by d3 and the Arab Fashion Council, it is the region’s main fashion week, bringing runway shows from regional labels and emerging designers to the heart of Dubai’s creative district.

About Dubai Fashion Week

The season’s programme combines runway shows with a Buyers Programme, where retailers meet designers through showroom appointments and previews of the new collections. According to the organisers, the October edition is the first stop of the international fashion month, ahead of New York, London, Milan and Paris. The previous Autumn/Winter 2026 edition featured names such as Lama Jouni, Manish Malhotra and THAT Concept Store.

Who it is for

• Fashion buyers, retailers and press
• Designers and creatives working in the region
• Anyone following the Middle East’s fashion scene

How to attend or enquire

Dubai Fashion Week is mainly an industry event, but you can still ask to attend. The official website has a Request Accreditation option on its calendar page, where the full schedule of runway shows and showroom appointments is published, and a registration page for press and buyers. For general enquiries, the organisers list info@arabfashioncouncil.com, and press can write to press@arabfashioncouncil.com. Places are not guaranteed, so send your request as early as possible.

Visiting d3 during fashion week

The official announcements describe a programme aimed at designers, buyers, retailers and media, and do not mention public tickets. Check the official Dubai Fashion Week website for the latest schedule and how to request access before you go. Even without a show invitation, d3 is a lovely area to explore during fashion week, with design studios, cafés and concept stores.
