Does the UAE have style?
The UAE is moving towards a higher awareness in fashion and style, thanks to the numerous malls and stores opening up. Technology and the internet give more access to youngsters to online shopping and inspiration so we are definitely moving in the right direction.
Fashion pet hates?
I dislike when people wear obvious “fakes,” because it makes you smell strongly as a “wannabe.” Either you promote your own style and buy whatever you can afford as long as it’s real, or buy “fakes” to be “fabulous” as somebody else.
