 Fashion Forward returns to Dubai in October, taking place from the 30 October to 2 November at the Dubai design District ( d3). The event will bring its ‘shop now’ element, which has already been seen in other countries.

Pop-up shops will be available, making shopping on the spot accessible. Aside from its pop up shops, there will also be an online platform where you will be able to purchase looks seen on the runway. The new feature available is aimed at providing exposure for the regional fashion industry, and reawakening the global brand and partner activations across the venue.

The fashion show will include runway shows, couture, ready to wear designs, and accessory presentations. Launched in 2013, Fashion Forward Dubai has been an important platform for both, emerging and established designers from the region, and is considering applications from well known international designers that have an interest in the region.

“We’re delighted to welcome back Dubai’s leading fashion event, Fashion Forward to d3 this year. This year will see even more designers participating and a greater number of our own business partners playing a central role in the programming,” says Khadija Al Bastaki, executive director of Dubai Design District
