The show featured an eclectic mix of ready-to-wear and couture collections, featuring experimental silhouettes, colour blocking, dynamic geometric patterns, and intricate textile manipulation. FAD’s participation in Dubai’s official fashion week and those of London and Milan underscores the institute’s commitment to nurturing creativity in its students, empowering them with future-ready skills and industry experience and further solidifying its reputation as a leading fashion school in the region.

The presentation featured versatile staples, such as shirt dresses, two-piece sets, and skirts, with distinctive details and asymmetrical draping, creating a balance between feminine elegance and contemporary sophistication. A neutral palette of white, beige, brown, and black and fabrics like crinkled cotton and silk reflected the label’s refined craftsmanship and fresh perspective on timeless designs.
BORN IN EXILE

Inspired by Libyan symbols such as the Ghazala fountain and referencing Libyan fabrics, the collection of tracksuits, knitwear, and leather patchwork blended traditional motifs with modern styles, while denim pieces represented the ageing of statues.
