Dubai Mall, the world’s most visited shopping destination, is set to host a landmark event in the global fashion calendar: the Dubai Mall Festival of Fashion. Scheduled for January 29–30, 2026, this two-day festival will showcase the very best of regional and international style, creativity, and innovation.
Over the course of the festival, 12 exclusive fashion masterclasses will take place across multiple venues in Dubai Mall, offering insider insights from some of the world’s most celebrated designers, industry leaders, and influencers. The event will culminate in the Dubai Mall Global Fashion Awards on January 30, 2026, at the prestigious Armani Hotel Dubai, where global and regional icons of the fashion world will gather for one of the region’s most anticipated award ceremonies.
Home to over 200 luxury and fashion brands, Dubai Mall already stands as the ultimate destination for style. The Dubai Mall Festival of Fashion will further cement its reputation as a hub for global fashion excellence.
A Dubai Mall spokesperson said:
“As the most visited retail destination on earth, Dubai Mall has always been at the heart of culture, lifestyle, and style. With the Dubai Mall Festival of Fashion, we are proud to elevate our reputation as not just a shopping destination, but a centre of global fashion. This event will celebrate creativity, diversity, and the timeless appeal of style, while bringing together the brightest talents from around the world.”
The festival is being organised in collaboration with Lana, the Arabic news platform redefining media engagement in the region. As part of the celebrations, Lana will produce a special edition publication, Dubai Mall Festival of Fashion, available throughout Dubai Mall from January 1, 2026. The publication will feature behind-the-scenes insights, profiles of featured talent, and a complete guide to the festival.
The festival will include a mix of invitation-only and public events, with ticketing and registration details to be announced on November 1, 2025, via the Lana website and app.
