Highlights from Final Day of Dubai Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2026



Dubai, UAE, 7 September 2025: The closing day of Dubai Fashion Week (DFW) Spring/Summer 2026 (SS26) was a spectacular celebration of creativity and storytelling, with a lineup of powerful showcases, which included DFW members Weinsanto and Lili Blanc and a closing show by DFW Correspondent Member Les Benjamins.

DFW, the region’s definitive fashion fixture, was co-founded by Dubai Design District (d3), part of TECOM Group PJSC, and the Arab Fashion Council (AFC).

LILI BLANC

Lili Blanc unveiled its SS26 collection, ‘She Boss Aura’ - a tribute to women who embody strength, independence, and timeless elegance. The collection balanced structure and fluidity through refined fabrics such as crepe, silk, organza, and mikado, contrasted with statement textures like sequins, denim, and vegan leather. Anchored in a palette of black, off-white, silver, pink, and deep blue, each look reflected the brand’s vision of modern power dressing - where elegance becomes authority and confidence speaks louder than words.

WEINSANTO

La Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode presented DFW member Weinsanto, who unveiled his SS25 collection. Known for a playful yet theatrical approach, Weinsanto brought his Parisian flair to Dubai, blending avant-garde silhouettes with bold textures and colours. The showcase reinforced the brand’s reputation for challenging conventions while celebrating individuality and artistic expression on the global stage.

EMERGENCY ROOM

Emergency Room x Timberland presented a standout SS25 showcase that reimagined the brand’s most iconic styles - the Original Yellow Boot and the 3-Eye Lug Boat Shoe. The collaboration highlighted the aesthetic synergy between Timberland’s rich heritage and Emergency Room’s contemporary design ethos, exploring new styling possibilities that bridge timeless craftsmanship with modern fashion sensibilities.

LES BENJAMINS

DFW Correspondent Member Les Benjamins closed the evening with the unveiling of its SS25 collection, ‘El Gringo..’ The show began with an outsider – a gringo from the near east – arriving in Mexico. The collection reimagined the dialogue between East and West through bold streetwear silhouettes, geometric motifs, and artisanal textures. Drawing inspiration from cultural icons such as Frida Kahlo and Chavela Vargas, the Istanbul-based label presented a vivid palette of desert tones and cosmic blues, layered with raw linens, fringes, and intricate beadwork. It was a striking finale that celebrated heritage and contemporary identity.

DFW’s success is possible due to strategic partnerships with leading global brands, including SOUEAST as automotive partner, Dyson as the official hair technology partner, Kiko Milano as the official make-up partner and Waldorf Astoria as the official hospitality partner. The Italian Trade Agency is DFW’s main trade partner, and Meta is its main media partner. Electra and Magnum provide essential support as the production and audio-visual partners, respectively. Additional support comes from OHVU for management services, Fiji Water as the hydration partner, Grow Healthy Food for catering, and Etcetera for additional management services.
