In a city where luxury never sleeps, Dubai’s fine dining and leisure destinations are continually having to raise the bar with innovative experiences. Lately, the ‘fashion pop-up’ concept is taking hold in the city, marrying the opulent worlds of haute couture and glamorous living.
With a number of five-star establishments merging with high fashion brands, you can now put a stylish twist on your regular beach day or Sunday morning padel session.
Below, GRAZIA rounds up some of the chicest fashion-pops we’re loving at the moment.
