Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Sri Lanka stands at the intersection of intelligent luxury, cultural depth, and contemporary South Asian design. Rooted in a centuries-old textile heritage and strengthened by Sri Lanka’s globally recognised apparel industry, the platform is shaped by a uniquely Sri Lankan synthesis of tradition, innovation, and sustainability. Since 2001, AOD, Sri Lanka’s leading design educator, has championed new creative perspectives, nurturing young talent and pioneering ways to merge low-tech craft with high-tech manufacturing. This distinctive approach helped define Sri Lanka’s emerging fashion signature, one compelling enough to shape international attention. It is within this momentum that Mercedes-Benz, a global symbol of style and progress, joined forces with AOD and DIMO, the only Authorised dealer of the Mercedes-Benz brand in Sri Lanka, to create the country’s first international fashion week.
​
Presented by AOD and powered by DIMO, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Sri Lanka continues to lead the region’s fashion conversation into a new era, one where luxury is defined not only by aesthetics but by intelligence, purpose, and innovation. Held parallel to the Sri Lanka Design Festival 2025, the event connects local designers to a global network of opportunity while spotlighting South Asia’s evolving creative economy. As a must-visit moment on the regional fashion calendar, the 2025 edition brings forward-thinking fashion experiences that embody the spirit of the island where global influences meet regional heritage, and where the next wave of South Asia’s fashion future takes the stage.
