The 3rd edition of the fashion event “Arka Fashion Week” will return to the city today. Organised by Arka Collective and Arka Studio, the 4-day fashion event will run from 16 to 19 January at Aloki in the capital’s Tejgaon area.
According to the organisers, this year, Arka Fashion Week 2025 is themed across four days, each day highlighting a unique focus: Day 1 is themed as “Denim”, Day 2 as “Modern Contemporary”, Day 3 will be celebrating “Fusion” and Day 4 is themed for “Sustainability”.
With a total of 12 runway shows, the Runway segment is once again all set to become the centerpiece of Arka Fashion Week, offering a stage for designers to connect with audiences and showcase the future of Bangladeshi fashion. Carefully curated, the runway brings together emerging talent, established brands, and leading names in Bangladesh’s fashion scene, offering a diverse and engaging experience.
The first day will not host any Runway show. Day 2 (Modern Contemporary, 17 January) will highlight bold, innovative designs by Daania, Royal Bengal Couture, DHEU by SaRa, and AMI Dhaka, Kathal among others; Day 3 (Fusion, 18 January) will celebrate creativity and diversity, featuring collections by fashion design students featured on the Student Runway, as well as brands GLEE and AMIRÁ, and Day 4 (Sustainability, 19 January) will emphasise on eco-conscious design with collections by Dhong, Tasha, Friendship, Grissho, Bliss, Urukku.Bangladesh, Taan, Aranya, and Kuhu.
‘Masterclass’ on different topics is one such new feature this year, and over the four days, each day will feature a unique theme, except for the first day.
