The Follow Affair

Last week  I told you about the anticipated visit of the creative director of Lanvin to Dubai, where he staged a private presentation of the brand's signature pieces and also the capsule collection that has been created exclusively for the region. Now I have the photos (from Buro24/7 Middle East). The collection exhales a mix of French and Arabic styles, even in the decoration you get that sense of fusion of east and west, the perfect balance. Long flowing gowns and embroidered jumpsuits and jackets, were seen on this collection. Love the red long flowing coat, beautiful with those fringes and the detail of the rope. xoxo, A

Today on The Dubai Mall, the Lanvin store got a special visit from the Creative Director of luxury French fashion house, Alber Elbaz. Alber Elbaz has moroccan roots, so he is presenting his creastions exclusively made for The Middle East. They also plan to host a cocktail party for the local press and other personalities. I which I was there leaving, meeting Mr. Elbaz, questioning him, getting an exclusive look at this collection. I bought a t-shirt from his collaboration with H&M in Dubai, it's a little big on me but I adore it.

Tell me if there's any girl that could say no to a blue ribbon Lanvin box! Yes, please, I'll take that box home. xoxo, A

I miss Dubai, the shoppings, the hotels, the beach, the multiple cultures you can find in one city. It's a great city, in the beginning it's hard to get used to the culture difference, to the heat and to the movement of a city that like any other, never sleeps. One of my shopping places was the Mall of Emirates, and this year this amazing shopping mall will celebrate it's 10th year anniversary, it's a decade of being the premier shopping destination in the region. How much I miss the trip to go shopping to Mall of Emirates, traveling in the Sheikh Zayed Road, so big, so fantastic, there's nothing like it. I visited Dubai a lot, spending 2 to 3 months there but never went to Ski Dubai, and go crazy in the snow while outside it was so hot your own skin could melt. Any brand you need can be found in this mall, from Accessorize to Yves Saint Laurent, from luxurious brands to high street brands,  if you want a department store you have 5 to choose from....
