Kriti Sanon to be the showstopper for Manish Malhotra at Dubai Fashion Week 2026

Actor Kriti Sanon will be walking the ramp for couturier Manish Malhotra during his closing show at Dubai Fashion Week, on February 6. This is the second time Manish is showcasing in Dubai. Manish will be the finale designer of the evening and will be presenting The India Story, Inaya Collection 2026. His collection will be brought to life on the ramp by his actor friend Kriti Sanon.

Dubai Fashion Week is culminating tonight at Dubai Design District and it has become a space where fashion, business, culture and commerce intersect. Italian luxury house Alberta Ferreti opened the week and with Manish closing the fashion week, the expectations are high. The designer had supermodel Adriana Lima walk the ramp last year, where he unveiled the World Collection: Dubai.

Manish blended Indian craftsmanship with Middle Eastern silhouette for his collection and there were sequined abayas, kaftans and pantsuits as a part of the showcase last year. And this time too, the designer is expected to introduce newer silhouettes and designs as part of his collection.

Dubai Fashion Week continues to evolve as a powerful commercial platform, with expanded buyer programmes and showrooms bridging regional and international retailers with both emerging and established labels.

This fashion week is also emphasising on sustainability, inclusivity and digital fashion through curated talks and panel discussions.
