A week of talks, community gatherings, creative action & conscious fashion from 22–28 April 2026.
This year’s programme brings together conversations, workshops, community gatherings and creative experiences that invite the public to reflect on the future of fashion and their role within it. Through a mix of online and in-person events in Dubai, Fashion Revolution UAE will explore the connections between fashion, climate, waste, water, consumer behaviour, community building and creative innovation.
In a moment marked by environmental pressures, social challenges and wider uncertainty across the region, UAE Fashion Revolution Week 2026 offers space for reflection, connection and collective action.
A major highlight of this year’s programme is Dress to Fly, Fashion Revolution UAE’s fashion design competition inviting participants to rethink airline uniforms for the GCC through a more sustainable and innovative lens. Supported by The F Word*, a niche AI fashion platform helping creators visualise and develop fashion concepts, the competition embraces digital creativity and AI-supported fashion ideation while keeping human creativity, sustainability thinking and meaningful design at its core. The grand finale will take place online as the closing event of the week.
