Egypt Fashion Week has returned to Cairo for its third edition, bringing designers, fashion professionals and creative businesses together for two days of runway shows, exhibitions and industry activities. The event is being held at the Agricultural Museum in Dokki on November 13 and 14, with a programme designed to promote Egyptian fashion while creating opportunities for international cooperation.
More than 50 Egyptian designers are taking part, alongside guest designers from countries including China, Jordan, Türkiye and Russia. The programme includes six runway shows on Friday, with presentations expected to highlight a mix of contemporary fashion, traditional influences and different approaches to design. The event also includes workshops, industry discussions and activities aimed at connecting emerging talent with established professionals.
The Agricultural Museum provides a distinctive setting for the event. The venue is home to Egypt’s Cotton Museum, making it closely connected to the country’s textile history and the importance of cotton in its economy. Organisers have used that connection to place greater attention on the relationship between fashion, local materials, craftsmanship and the future of the Egyptian design industry.
The programme goes beyond the presentation of new clothing collections. Workshops and panel discussions are intended to encourage conversations about sustainable design, manufacturing, education, marketing and investment. The event also includes the Egyptian Beauty Hub, giving beauty businesses and professionals an additional space to present their work and connect with visitors.
Emerging designers and business founders are also being offered opportunities to meet potential investors through one-to-one pitching sessions. This gives the event a commercial purpose as well as a cultural one, helping creative businesses explore ways to grow and reach new markets.
The organisers have opened the museum to the public on Friday and Saturday, with tickets covering access to both days. The event is expected to attract fashion enthusiasts, students, industry professionals and visitors interested in Egypt’s growing creative sector.
By bringing local designers together with international participants, Egypt Fashion Week aims to strengthen Cairo’s position as a meeting point for fashion and creative industries in the region.
