Day three of Dubai Fashion Week showcased an inspiring blend of visionary design, sustainable innovation, and a powerful commitment to inclusivity. From luxurious multi-designer showcases to bold streetwear, each presentation resonated with the season’s spirit of reinvention and cultural fusion.
Etoile La Boutique kicked off the day with an exclusive, invite-only multi-designer presentation, “Twilight to Midnight.” The collection gracefully transitioned from daytime elegance to nocturnal allure, celebrating luxury and meticulous craftsmanship. An exclusive after-show at Gitano Dubai allowed industry leaders and influencers to revel in the collection’s sophisticated charm in a vibrant, intimate setting.
DFW Member BLSSD brought a burst of energy to the runway with their experimental collection. The UAE-born label dazzled packed crowds by merging bold streetwear with a palette of seasonal colors and innovative designs. BLSSD’s boundary-defying approach reasserts their reputation as a modern force in ready-to-wear fashion, challenging conventional style while staying true to their creative roots.
New York-based British-Iraqi designer Tara Babylon took center stage with her Autumn/Winter 2025 collection, Princess of Thieves. Infusing winter fashion with a warm, tropical vibe, Babylon reclaims desert narratives through Middle Eastern-inspired palm tree prints and earthy green tones. By weaving these elements into recycled cotton tapestry using a mix of traditional techniques—such as weaving, printing, hardware accents, and crochet—her collection offers stylish, sustainable pieces that marry texture, print, and eco-conscious design with a touch of regional charm.
DFW Member Dima Ayad celebrated diversity and female empowerment with a collection that perfectly balanced seasonal colors—from rich tones to soft pastels—with elegant, modern silhouettes. The designs, crafted in luxurious fabrics, were tailored to flatter women of all shapes and sizes, reaffirming Ayad’s commitment to inclusivity and timeless style. This collection not only showcased high-end design but also set a progressive standard for the future of fashion.
