Dubai Fashion Week

If the first day of the Dubai Fashion Week spring-summer 2010 was blingtastic, the second day relied on sophistication and subtlety to push it forward. Leading the fashion fray was the Saudi designer Hatem Al Akeel. He was consummate in paying homage to simplicity and made the thobes appear as the most masculine garment to sport. The much-anticipated unveiling of Christian Louboutin's men's shoes stepped up the glamour quotient. But it was disappointing to see only two pairs of Louboutin for males make it to the runway. Designer-duo of the label Kanzi (the Arabic word for treasure) — Shaikha Amal Al Maktoum and Raghda Taryam — gave great shape and form to reams and reams of black billowing silk. The collection titled Fairytales ended on a happy note. A model waltzing onto the runway in a white glittering gown with a bouffant skirt made for a perfect Cinderella. The fantastical land also gave way to some racy clothes.
