It’s that time of the season again – this weekend, the UAE’s best – and most flamboyantly – dressed will head down to Dubai Design District (d3), where some of the region’s top designers are showcasing their autumn/winter 2017 collections at Fashion Forward Dubai (FFWD).
To coincide with the event, and as a part of the Epic X Samsung initiative, Galeries Lafayette will be housing a month-long pop-up, featuring the spring/summer 2017 collections of six regional designers.
Brands that are a part of the Galeries Lafayette pop-up include: Kristina Fidelskaya, who designs sophisticated, feminine dresses in a creamy, pastel palette; Sotra, who gives feminine accents to urban silhouettes; Amira Haroon, known for her flair for who gives an Eastern flair to her glamorous creations; and Lama Jouni, who recently showcased at London Fashion Week. For more quirky collections with prints and bold colours, look out for the spring/summer 2017 designs from Mrs. Keepa and Mira Hayek.
“The FFWD pop-up shop, under the Epic X Samsung programme, is an excellent vehicle for FFWD designers and d3 creative partners to attain customer visibility and widen their commercial reach,” says Ramzi Nakad, co-founder of FFWD. “We are delighted that Galeries Lafayette have chosen to partner with Epic again to support regional design talent for a fourth season.”
The FFWD pop-up is taking place at Galeries Lafayette in The Dubai Mall until April 15.
