Confirmation requiredFor designers
Bring a complete point of view.
Designer participation is shaped around the collection rather than a rigid outfit count.
Collections should communicate a coherent design identity and be suitable for a professionally coordinated runway presentation.
Collection guidance
The final number of looks can be driven by the collection. As an initial planning reference, approximately 12 male and 12 female looks may be considered where relevant—but this is guidance, not a fixed requirement.
Model coordination
Local Dubai-based models are preferred where possible. Final model planning, fittings and presentation requirements will be confirmed directly with participating designers.
For models
Presence meets professionalism.
Model participation is coordinated around designer collections, runway fit and the final presentation plan.
