Dublin Independent Fashion Week 2025 - What to expect
DUBLIN INDEPENDENT FASHION WEEK 2025
DUBLIN INDEPENDENT FASHION WEEK is returning for its third year: this time with a reinvigorated format and expanded line-up of fashion events taking place this year from 22nd-28th of September. Responding to the lack of an official Fashion Week in Ireland, Dublin Fashion Week provides a platform for both emerging and established talents in Irish Fashion to showcase their work to both a national and international audience. DIFW hopes to inspire designers to stay in Ireland at a time when more and more creatives are drawn away to fashion hubs outside of home.
At the helm of this revolutionary fashion community is DIFW, a powerhouse collective dedicated to championing Ireland's emerging and established talents DIFW is driven by a collective effort to build a community-based fashion culture. This year’s events focus is on genuine inclusion and a true celebration of the Irish creative spirit. The aim is to uplift Irish creatives across the nation by providing a network of vital support and opening up the doors for all who wish to participate.
DIFW isn’t just about the runway - it’s about the conversation, the ecosystem and the future of independent design in Ireland. These events will be proudly talent-led, volunteer-powered and deeply rooted in the belief that fashion should be as diverse and dynamic as the people who create it.
DIFW’s week-long fashion fest will go live across the city, showcasing designers, as well as other fashion creatives in the nation’s capital. Satellite DIFW events will also take place around Dublin city throughout the week, including a series of live events which will be added to the official DIFW schedule.
