Fashion in Dubai
April 5th, 2009Dubai Fashion Week kicks off today, April 5th, and runs through Thursday, April 9th at the Jumeirah Emirates Towers in Dubai, UAE. The event hopes to promote local designers and solidify Dubai’s position in the global fashion industry.
This year’s event will showcase the work of 28 designers, including some of the best in the Middle East, such as Manish Malhotra, Swetty Exclusive, HSY, and Pria Puri. The event will also feature the work of the winners of the Emerging Talent Competition, which highlights new regional talents.
Fashion Week brings together fashion professionals such as designers and models with retail buyers and media from around the world. Designers will be showing their Autumn/Winter 2009 collections, giving attendees a chance to preview what clothing will be in demand later in the year.
Look for regional and even international celebrities and fashionistas to attend the event. While it may be difficult to find a five star hotel in Dubai with a vacancy, there will be plenty of opportunities to rub elbows with the ultra rich and famous at the event and at supporting social events throughout the city.
Fashion Week is organized by Concept Events, a member of the Concept Group, and overseen by an advisory board of fashion industry experts.
