Dubai Design District

Dubai Design District

Based in the heart of the city, next to the Business Bay area, Dubai Design District is a platform where design, art and fashion co-exist in one place. It was established with a vision to serve as a tailor-made design hub that would promote emerging talent and extend a home for creative thinkers in the luxury fashion & interior design industry.

As Dubai’s first and largest design district, it is home to first stage ventures such as local boutique design studios to global fashion houses. It is regulated by Dubai Technology and Media Free Zone Authority, which is an independent regulatory platform. The free zone is a kind of ecosystem that welcomes and nourishes the upcoming brands in fashion, retail and luxury.
