Dubai is the de facto global capital of many things. Glitz, glamor, extravagant living…one could go on and on about the ways in which the city impresses.
As Dubai is a crossroads of cultures, the city presents infinite possibilities for fashionistas from near and far to showcase their latest threads. Let's now take a closer look at some of the specific trends on the scene in Dubai.
Mix of old and new
One of the fascinating things about the Emirates in general is that it both revels in its past, and is simultaneously able to incorporate elements of the contemporary and even the futuristic, and they always do it in style. Be it Emirati architecture, museums, or resorts, the locals always find a way to mix together old and new in amazing ways.
This is no less true on the fashion scene. The people of the Emirates are able to rock traditional styles and also combine them with modern elements, colors, and fabrics in a way no one else can. This includes a whole range of abayas, kaftans, and headscarves that preserve Islamic modesty while showing fashionable flair. Emiratis are truly in touch with every aspect of their culture.
Mix of shopping venues
In the same way that styles themselves are an enchanting mix of old and new, so too are the places where you can find them. In the city's souks you can find both simple styles, as well as jazzier ones. There are even specialized souks where you can buy gold, for example, in an incredible array of styles and grades. Or souks specifically devoted to fabrics, where tailors create breathtaking pieces from stunning colors and patterns.
And of course Dubai's malls are among the most famous in the world, offering everything from Western-style choices to the height of luxury to styles particular to the region.
How to get around?
If you're going on a shopping extravaganza in Dubai, you'll need proper wheels to get to the places you're going. The best idea is to get a rental at one of the city's leading rental agencies.
You don't want to be without wheels while you're on a shopping spree. Even taxis wouldn't be the right way to go as you'll have to carry all your stuff around with you in between gigs.
And if you're going to be treating yourself (and perhaps hitting some amazing fashion shows where you're sure to be seen), why not do it in style? Check out a fancy Rolls-Royce, for example. Or perhaps go all out and check out opportunities to rent Lamborghini Dubai. You've likely only got one shot at your big fashion extravaganza, so you should make the most of it.
Fashion shows like no other
Naturally, with both the fashion potential itself, and also all the other amazing things that Dubai has to offer, the city is regularly host to some of the world's most glamorous fashion shows.
Dubai Fashion Week, for example, is a time when the city showcases many of the marvelous new styles that have emerged each year. Fashion Forward Dubai is an opportunity for leading designers to showcase their most stunning works.
Choose your priorities
You can even make purchases depending on places of origin, or even your own standards for sustainability and eco-conscious production. If you only want to buy clothing that meets particular standards of sustainable development, you can find them in Dubai. If you want to be sure that your chosen items were made without the use of child labor, you'll be sure to find places where you can get a guarantee of this.
Basically, whatever you're looking for in terms of production, components, style, or anything else you'll be sure to find it in Dubai.
