Dubai Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2025-26 kicked off with a dazzling display of artistry as Dubai-based Zeena Zaki took centre stage as the opening designer on February 1. With an audience brimming with anticipation, Zaki delivered a collection that was nothing short of a visual sensation—one that wove a narrative of transformation, energy, and timeless femininity.
Backstage, after the show, Zaki reflected on the whirlwind of emotions that came with being the opener for this year’s first DFW outing. “It’s like a soup of excitement, happiness. I was nervous, but I’m over it because I wanted everything to be super perfect. I’m overwhelmed, I’m so grateful, I’m happy, I’m proud. It’s all just a beautiful feeling,” she shared.
