Dubai Fashion Week sets a five-day stage for Spring/Summer 2027

Dubai Fashion Week will return from 22 to 26 October 2026 for its Spring/Summer 2027 season. The five-day calendar is presented as a mix of runway shows and showroom appointments, bringing designers, buyers, press and partners into Dubai Design District.

The event is co-founded by Dubai Design District and the Arab Fashion Council. Its current member list includes Weinsanto, Mrs Keepa, Dima Ayad, Lama Jouni, Michael Cinco, BLSSD and Lili Blanc, placing Dubai-based and international labels on the same platform.

A platform beyond the runway

The official site separates several parts of the fashion-week business. Designers can apply for the calendar, buyers and press can request accreditation, and brands can explore sponsorship and partnership routes. A buyers room and designer directory remain part of the platform between show dates.

The October season also sits within a forward calendar. Applications are open for the March 2027 Autumn/Winter 2027–28 edition, so the next designer-selection cycle is under way before the Spring/Summer 2027 shows begin.

One season while the next opens

Dubai Fashion Week’s archive records previous guest designers including Iris van Herpen, Jean Paul Gaultier, Moschino, Roberto Cavalli and Manish Malhotra. The current October programme continues that calendar with a five-day window focused on the next spring and summer season.

The next dated milestone is 22 October, when the Spring/Summer 2027 edition opens at Dubai Design District.
