Co-founded by Dubai Design District (d3), the global creative hub that is part of TECOM Group, and the Arab Fashion Council, DFW runs until 26 October and brings together international and regional designers, industry leaders and media, reinforcing Dubai’s position as a global hub for fashion and creativity.   

The Colombia Day initiative, part of the CCB’s [PUENTE] Internacional programme, aims to connect Bogotá’s fashion businesses with buyers, commercial partners and new market opportunities across the Middle East, reinforcing DFW’s role as a platform for international creative exchange and business development.
