World Luxury Fashion Week launches in Abu Dhabi


Carolina Herrera NY, Hervé Léger, Paule Ka and Jean Paul Gaultier are among the high-end brands participating in the first World Luxury Fashion Week in Abu Dhabi.

The four-day event takes place at Jumeirah at Etihad Towers from November 25-28, opening with two evenings of BMW Haute Couture shows, followed by two evenings of some of the most prestigious prêt-à-porter brands featuring, among others, the likes of Carolina Herrera NY, Hervé Léger and Paule Ka Collections, and the acclaimed regional designers Walid Atallah and Reem and Hind Beljafla, who recently returned from a successful London Fashion Week.

In addition, BMW will host exclusive customer-evening events where several top designers, such as Jean Paul Gaultier, will present their latest haute couture collections.

Guests at the event can enjoy a five-course gourmet dinner. A fashion show will take place during the intervals between courses.
