Roberto Cavalli to Shine at Dubai Fashion Week

The renowned Italian luxury label Roberto Cavalli is set to make a grand entrance at the upcoming Dubai Fashion Week as the guest of honor. This prestigious event will mark the brand’s first-ever showcase in the Middle East, where it will close the spring/summer 2025 season with an exclusive collection.

Running from Sept. 1-7 at Dubai Design District, the highly-anticipated event will culminate with a special presentation of Roberto Cavalli’s latest creations.

The Glamorous Legacy of Roberto Cavalli

Founded in the 1970s by the late designer Roberto Cavalli, the eponymous brand made its debut in Paris with a stunning collection of printed leather gowns. Over the years, Roberto Cavalli has become synonymous with Italian luxury and glamour, gracing international runways and red carpets with its bold use of tropical patterns and animal prints. Today, under the creative direction of Fausto Puglisi, the brand is reclaiming the spotlight.

In an official statement, Puglisi expressed his excitement about being the guest brand at Dubai Fashion Week, highlighting the strong connection between Dubai’s vibrant spirit and the essence of Roberto Cavalli. The SS25 collection, specially curated for this event, aims to capture the luxurious allure of both Dubai and the iconic fashion house.
