Dubai is gearing up for yet another season of runway extravaganza as Dubai Fashion Week returns to Dubai Design District from September 1-7. This year’s event promises to be particularly spectacular, thanks to the Italian luxury powerhouse Roberto Cavalli, which will grace the runway as the Guest of Honour. Showcasing for the first time in the Middle East, Roberto Cavalli will close the Spring/Summer 2025 season with a collection curated exclusively for this occasion, marking a significant milestone for both the brand and Dubai Fashion Week.
Roberto Cavalli, the brainchild of the late, legendary designer who revolutionized fashion with printed leather gowns in the 1970s, has become synonymous with Italian luxury and bold glamour. Known for its tropical patterns and animal prints, the brand has a storied legacy of innovation. Now, under the creative direction of Fausto Puglisi, Roberto Cavalli is set to bring its iconic style from Milan to Dubai, reinforcing the Emirate’s burgeoning status as a global fashion capital.
Khadija Al Bastaki, Senior Vice President of Dubai Design District, emphasized the significance of this debut, “Each edition of Dubai Fashion Week proves our mettle as a global fashion capital. Roberto Cavalli’s Middle East runway debut sends a powerful message to the international industry: Dubai is where the future of fashion is being written.”
Mohammed Aqra, Chief Strategy Officer of the Arab Fashion Council, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the event’s growing prestige, “Having Roberto Cavalli close our Spring/Summer 2025 show strengthens the bond between the brand and its regional supporters, showcasing our commitment to elevating the fashion landscape in the Middle East.”
Fausto Puglisi, Creative Director of Roberto Cavalli, expressed his excitement, “Dubai’s spirit aligns perfectly with Roberto Cavalli. Showcasing here allows us to connect more deeply with our loyal clientele and new admirers alike.”
With over 30 brands from around the world set to present their collections, Dubai Fashion Week 2024 promises a spectacular week of fashion. The event will kick off with an exclusive gathering of media, celebrities, and fashion stakeholders. As Dubai continues to carve its niche among the world’s fashion capitals, the stage is set for a week of unparalleled style and innovation.
