Dubai marked a defining moment on the global fashion map as Runway by Minaaz unveiled
its three-day international fashion showcase from January 30–31 and February 1, 2026, at
the iconic Address Dubai Mall. Bringing together global designers, celebrities, and industry
leaders, the event elevated the scale and cultural relevance of fashion in the region.
Taking centre stage in Downtown Dubai, the platform went beyond a traditional showcase—
emerging as a global movement celebrating creativity without borders.

A Star-Studded Global Affair
Headlining the event was Netflix’s Dubai Bling star Ebraheem Alsamadi, alongside
Bollywood icons Karisma Kapoor, Malaika Arora, Huma Qureshi, Dino Morea, and Aditya
Seal, followed by global personality Abdu Rozik—collectively reinforcing the showcase’s
international stature.

Designers from the USA, UK, UAE, Italy, India, Senegal, Sri Lanka, Ecuador, South Africa,
Romania, Uzbekistan, Albania, Russia, Pakistan, Lebanon and beyond presented culturally
rich, contemporary collections reflecting the diversity of global fashion.

Where Fashion Met Entertainment
The runway evolved into a full entertainment spectacle with live performances by U.S. singer
Rexxine and Indian dancer-choreographer Punyakar, adding music, movement, and
theatrical energy to the fashion experience.

The Talent Behind the Runway                                                                                          The showcase was directed by Parimal Mehhta, Founder of Blanckanvas Media, as     Fashion Show Director.

Behind the scenes, Blanckanvas Media — a Mumbai-based, decade-old organization — led
end-to-end show direction, backstage orchestration, and digital amplification. From runway
coordination to global social media visibility, the team ensured the spectacle resonated far
beyond the stage.
Because while designers bring collections to life — it’s the talent behind the runway that
brings the runway to the world.
