New York, London, Milan, Paris ... and soon Dubai?
Dubai is already a global fashion hotspot, but, in a push to promote the Emirate as a distinguished location for the design and fashion industry, several initiatives are under way.
Signaling Dubai's commitment to the fashion center, this summer saw the launch of the Dubai Design and Fashion Council, set up to promote the Emirate as a centre for design and fashion. The Council's mandate is to deliver a strategy that will outline and guide the growth and development of the Emirate's fashion industry. It is also entrusted with supporting local talent through design events and initiatives.
In addition, the Dubai Design District is now under construction. Dubbed "an ecosystem that fosters opportunities in luxury, design, retail and hospitality," the District will consist of office space for designers together with a convention centre which will be home to fashion and design exhibitions, conferences and events, as well as residential units, hotels, and food, beverage and retails outlets. The goal is for the District to become the platform where local talents and international fashion houses can converge.
