Born Outside at Harvey Nichols Dubai: Celebrating Modern Italian Craftsmanship

October 2026 – A special installation bringing together contemporary footwear, Italian craftsmanship and design.

This October, Born Outside takes over a dedicated space at Harvey Nichols Dubai, inside Mall of the Emirates, with a special pop-up celebrating contemporary Italian footwear and the art of shoemaking.

Coinciding with Dubai Fashion Week 2026 and Harvey Nichols Dubai's ongoing fashion initiatives, the installation offers a closer look at the Born Outside universe, showcasing the complete Fall/Winter 2026 men's collection in a setting inspired by the tools, materials and processes behind each shoe.

A Celebration of Modern Artisanal Craftsmanship

Designed in Born Outside's signature blue, the space brings together industrial aesthetics and traditional shoemaking references.

Tools of the trade, materials and elements of footwear construction become part of the installation, offering a glimpse into the processes behind the finished product.

The concept reflects Born Outside's approach to modern Italian craftsmanship: respecting traditional techniques while challenging established conventions through contemporary design, unexpected proportions and distinctive details.

Discover Fall/Winter 2026

The pop-up presents the complete Born Outside Fall/Winter 2026 men's collection, bringing together familiar favourites and three new silhouettes.

Leading the season is Corso, a clean, low-profile sneaker defined by understated proportions and subtle asymmetry. Alongside it, Vibra introduces a bolder interpretation of the low-top sneaker, combining contrasting materials and a higher sole, while Livello explores a more architectural approach to the everyday slip-on.

The collection also welcomes back established Born Outside favourites, including Tono, Echo and Tempo, reimagined through new colours, materials and refined details.

Six silhouettes, each with its own character, connected by a shared design philosophy and entirely Made in Italy.

From Dubai to the World

The Harvey Nichols installation is part of Born Outside's growing international retail presence.

The Fall/Winter 2026 collection is also available at the brand's pop-up in Alserkal Avenue, Dubai, as well as through selected international retailers, including Harvey Nichols Doha, Salam Doha, Rubaiyat Riyadh, Harrods London, KaDeWe Berlin, Globus Geneva, ILLUM Copenhagen and MODES St. Moritz.
