International Fashion Week Dubai remains one of the biggest fashion shows in Dubai and probably worldwide, and the event recently achieved a landmark feat with the introduction of NFTs. The move comes after the grand success of International Fashion Week Dubai (IFWD), with plans to enter into eCommerce following the event’s first b2b session which was attended by buyers, investors and brands of IFWDS13.
“We are thankful to all the people who have made this event a grand success. This year, organizing the International Fashion Week Dubai was tough, especially after the Russian- Ukrainian crisis. We got full support from IFWD, and all our team members and sponsors pulled together to make the event proceed smoothly. Today we can proudly say that the IFWD has grown into a phenomenon that has brought all the fashion lovers in the world together on one stage.” – Ms Cheryle Dias, Founder and Managing Director. “Season 13 of IFWD was spectacular and we are getting ready for season 14 of IFWD in November 2022.”
