Dubai Fashion Week Kicks Off Fall 2026 Season in d3

Dubai Fashion Week’s Fall 2026 season is officially underway in d3, setting the tone for fashion month with a five-day lineup that bridges regional talent and global names. The week opened with a runway presentation by Alberta Ferretti, anchoring the calendar with a dose of Italian polish before handing the spotlight to a mix of emerging and established designers. On the schedule this season: international and regional labels including BLSSD, SORAMAME, Lama Jouni, and a closing show by Manish Malhotra. As the first major stop on the global circuit, Dubai’s five-day showcase once again positions the city as fashion month’s opening act where regional vision meets international momentum.

It’s confirmed: Pieter Mulier is stepping in as Versace’s new Chief Creative Officer, with Versace and Prada Group announcing that his appointment takes effect July 1, signaling a major creative reset for the Italian powerhouse. Fresh from Alaïa, the Belgian designer brings two decades of heavy-hitting experience, having shaped the visual language of Raf Simons, Jil Sander, Dior, and Calvin Klein. At Alaïa, he sharpened the house with sculptural silhouettes, razor-precise tailoring, and a minimalism that felt both cerebral and commercially smart. Now he lands at a brand synonymous with maximalism, bombshell glamour, and high-voltage Italian drama, making the contrast part of the intrigue.

Bad Bunny made fashion history at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards this week, stepping onto the carpet in the first-ever custom menswear look created by Schiaparelli for a major red carpet. Designed by creative director Daniel Roseberry, the black velvet tuxedo was sharp with exaggerated shoulders and a dramatically cinched waist, while the back revealed a lace-up corset detail running down the spine. Beaded embroidery traced the lapels in the shape of a tailor’s measuring tape, a surrealist wink to craftsmanship that felt distinctly Schiaparelli. The look landed as both a cultural flex and a strategic prelude to his upcoming Super Bowl LX halftime show, arriving just as he picked up wins for DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS .

Dubai’s activewear girls, consider this your cue. Nike and SKIMS have officially joined forces on a ballet-inspired capsule of sculpting leggings, second-skin shorts, and ultra-flattering sports bras that blur the line between studio uniform and street staple, and now the collab has landed in the city via an exclusive Ounass pop-up. Taking over Koncrete, the space has been transformed into a sleek, movement-focused retail experience dedicated entirely to the drop, giving shoppers the chance to see, feel, and try the pieces IRL. The pop-up runs until Feb. 10, and the collection is available exclusively through Ounass in the UAE, meaning if you’ve been eyeing those soft, sculpted silhouettes, this is your window.

Maison Valentino Names SOMBR as Global Brand Ambassador

Maison Valentino has officially named Grammy-nominated breakout star SOMBR as its newest global brand ambassador, following his appearance in custom Valentino at the 2026 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. The 20-year-old New York native, who has repeatedly worn the house, steps into the role as part of Valentino’s ongoing alignment with cultural figures shaping contemporary style. Fresh off major appearances on The Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, the MTV VMAs, the Grammys, and Saturday Night Live, and ahead of the European leg of his sold-out Late Nights and Young Romance Tour kicking off Feb. 10, the partnership signals a natural synergy between his instinctive, fashion-forward presence and Valentino’s evolving vision under Alessandro Michele.

Fred Perry x Kris Van Assche Rework the Uniform

Fred Perry has teamed up with Belgian designer Kris Van Assche for a collaboration that flips the idea of the “uniform” on its head, merging the brand’s sport-and-subculture legacy with his sharp, minimalist tailoring. The former Dior Homme artistic director, who also led Berluti, brings his signature tension between street and suiting to Fred Perry staples. The classic Fred Perry Shirt reappears in bold red with floral badges pulled from his personal archive, while a white piqué version is reworked into a tailored “shirt” with black buttons and an adjustable pre-tied tie. The tracksuit becomes a pinstriped “suit” with silver hardware and even a matching track skirt, while a blazer-and-shorts set and a hybrid half-zip “sweat-shirt” blur athletic codes with tailoring. Trompe l’oeil argyle knits and grid-like floral jumpers create the illusion of layered polos and track jackets, and a black cap seals the mood.

Florence Hunt Joins Dior as Beauty and Fashion Ambassador

Florence Hunt is officially stepping into the Dior universe. The British actress has been named ambassador for Dior Beauty and for Jonathan Anderson’s collections at the House, adding another milestone to her fast-rising career. Many first met Hunt as Hyacinth Bridgerton in Bridgerton, and she’s since continued to build momentum with roles like Lance Hammer’s upcoming Queen at Sea. Still early in her career, Hunt carries a poise that feels natural rather than rehearsed, which makes her a fitting face for Dior’s next chapter. The appointment links her to Jonathan Anderson’s vision for the house and to Peter Philips’ direction for Dior Beauty, placing her at the intersection of fashion and film at a moment when both feel closely intertwined.
