RUSSIAN SEASONS ARABIA 2025
On 28 November 2025, Dubai, (UAE) will host the first Russian Seasons Arabia festival.
Russian Seasons Arabia will bring together representatives of culture and business from Russia and the Middle East. The event, which promises to become an integral part of the cultural, business and creative life of the countries, will be held with the support of one of the most significant cultural complexes of the Persian Gulf Alserkal.
The guests of the festival are expected to see an exhibition of the best Russian and foreign brands, summarizing the results of the international contest of young designers, dedicated to the integration of cultural codes of different countries into modern trends, public talk with the participation of Russian and foreign influencers and business program, where experts and participants will discuss the specifics of the Middle East market, export opportunities and much more.
Russian Seasons is an international event that initially chose Moscow as its base. After four successful festivals in Moscow, the festival expands its geography, choosing Dubai, the “new center of the world”, the capital of international trade, as its location.
This season the organizers were inspired by the idea of continuity and interpenetration of cultures - it is no coincidence that the theme of the festival is “Oriental inspiration, innovative design” and refers to the commonality of cultural codes of Russia and the Middle East, their influence on each other in historical perspective and in modern, innovative reinterpretation.
By offering Dubai as a new venue for the festival, the organizers are taking the project to a fundamentally new, international level.
“With each festival we, the organizers of Russian Seasons, evolve and develop. Our principles are respect and preservation of heritage and innovative development. For example, we started Russian Seasons by addressing Russian crafts and actualizing them together with designers, and then turned to production and innovation together with scientists and technological entrepreneurs in the Seasons Tech program.
Now we are taking a new step - opening the first season of Russian Seasons Arabia. Our goal is to bring the creative community of Russia and the Middle East closer to each other, to create conditions for cooperation and to explore how the cultural codes of the countries influence modern design and the images of the countries on the world stage,” said Daria Matsievskaya, President of Russian Seasons.
Since its foundation, Russian Seasons has been discovering new names in fashion and design. Since 2016, the young designers' competition has been supported by Vogue magazine for several years. Since 2018, the Seasons Tech gas pedal has been presenting the most promising young innovators to the industry.
This year, the Russian Seasons Arabia festival announces an international competition for young designers. The competition assignment is to create an image that reflects contemporary trends and the national cultural code of their or their chosen country. Contest entries will be accepted from April 1 to September 30, 2025.
