DUBAI: The Arab Fashion Council is set to host the world’s first floating fashion week, it was revealed on Monday.
The sixth edition of Arab Fashion Week in Dubai will be held aboard the newly inaugurated naval hotel, the Queen Elizabeth II, which is docked in the city’s Port Rashid.
The world-famous cruise liner with a history spanning five decades will see designers from around the world walk up the gangplank to showcase their most innovative creations in a stylish event set to run from May 8-12.
Arab Fashion Week’s sixth edition has attracted international and regional designers. This season, designers from 13 different countries will take part, including the UAE, Russia, UK, Venezuela, Lebanon, US, Saudi Arabia, China, Taiwan, Portugal, Italy, Armenia and Egypt.
