Despite different rumors and minor and bad executed fashion shows or “wanna be” Fashion weeks initiatives, Fashion Forward Dubai (FFWD) is the definitive fashion platform for Dubai and the Middle East, providing real development, exposure and a progressive direction for the regional fashion industry.
FFWD welcomes members of the regional and international fashion communities to come together in support of Middle Eastern design talent and to foster industry discussion and professional development.
