The stores to visit for
your next shopping haul
ALL IN ONE
Dubai Festival City is brimming with
new outlets for everything from fashion
to beauty. Here are two to visit:
● Expand your fragrance wardrobe
with a visit to Beautique, a homegrown
concept offering the latest in niche
perfumes, including the likes of Maison
Francis Kurkdjian, By Kilian, Laurent
Mazzone, Moresque, and Sospiro.
INDIAN TOUCH
Renowned international fashion designer
Manish Arora has collaborated with RIVA
Fashion to launch a line reminiscent of his
Indian heritage and the iconic Taj Mahal.
Rich vibrant colours, parkas fused with the
designer’s signature pink, and demure
dresses with a kaleidoscope effect of
yellows, blues, violets and golds, bring the
collection to life. Available at SIVVI.COM
and RIVA Fashion stores.
CLASSIC PAIRS
For timeless sole wear
that’s bang on trend,
head to Stuart Weitzman.
The celebrity-approved Mulearky slides in dusty pink and black have
been spotted on Gigi Hadid and Karlie Kloss, to drop a few names. Our
favourites? the Supersonic (pointed-toe flat with ankle-wrap detail).
Those who love a bit of heel can opt for the Partisan (platform sandal
with metallic block heel and satin straps), and Wallawalla (a suede stacked
heeled desert boot with oversized stitch details and tasselled laces).

● In the world of
fashion, French
women are always looked up to for their
understated elegance and that certain je
ne sais quoi. Lucky for us, with the launch
of La Fee Maraboute at Robinsons Dubai,
a French-inspired wardrobe doesn’t have
to be a flight away. Expect florals, prints,
flowy dresses, and ultra-feminine pieces
that are topical yet glamorous.
Give back with flowers
The days of stopping by a florist to get a
flower bouquet are long gone. Women
much prefer receiving roses presented in
a gorgeous hat box nowadays, which
makes for a great Instagram post too. To
commemorate the Year of Giving,
Maison Des Fleurs have teamed up
with Dubai-based artist eL Seed to
unveil a flower box designed with
his signature calligraphy style. 50%
of all proceeds will be donated to
the Dubai-based globally
renowned initiative Al Jalila Foundation,
treating children with life-threatening
illnesses and towards local research into
better treatment options to improve
children’s lives. From Dhs749, visit
