Arab Fashion Week 2021
By Alyssa Kristeller
Since its first edition held in Dubai in 2015, the Arab Fashion Week, or "أسبوع الموضة العربي", celebration has been showcasing MENA-based designers on the international stage. The AFW winter and spring shows of 2021 were held virtually, but nonetheless featured designers with diverse backgrounds, inspirations, and styles.
This year also brought the first-ever edition of the Men’s AFW held in January, 2021. Now, with both men’s and women’s fashion weeks, the Arab Fashion Council will host the AFW four times a year. Click through the slideshow above to see some of the stunning designs of both the Women’s AFW held from March 28-April 1, and the Men’s AFW held from June 28-30!
