Giorgio Armani Chooses Dubai To Stage His Iconic Cruise 2021 Show
Fashion icon Giorgio Armani has confirmed that he will be heading to Dubai for the Cruise 2021 fashion show, the designer who first made his foray to the city ten years ago with the launch of his Armani hotel in Burj Khalifa is set to wow the city once again.
The Italian house will reveal their upcoming collection next April, but according to reports from the WWD, a final date for the show hasn’t been finalized yet.
One thing we do know is that the April show will coincide with the reopening of the brand’s boutique at the Dubai Mall.
Speaking to WWD, Armani praised the city’s hosting of Expo 2020, which is scheduled for October. “I’m very happy to be back in Dubai after 10 years, especially on the occasion of the Expo 2020 which will place a great emphasis on the city,” he said.
“Dubai is a luxurious and fascinating place with a soul focused on the future, always in pursuit of the imagination.” He added.
Also worth mentioning is that the iconic Giorgio Armani will be awarded with the ‘Outstanding Achievement Award‘ at the British Fashion Awards later this year.
We’re absolutely in awe with Adidas‘ latest ad campaign entitled “Change Is A Team Sport,” where part of the campaign was shot at the Kingdom’s historical place Al-Ula.
In celebration of their superstar’s 50th anniversary, Adidas has featured 4 women who hail from Saudi Arabia in the UNESCO heritage site of AlUla. A breathtaking destination for an incredible shoot!
This makes Adidas the very first major brand to have a campaign shot at AlUla, the campaign featured Saudi female rapper Aseel Saraj, blogger Jory Al Maiman, local designer Alaa Balkhy and actress Sarah Taibah in the latest edition of the Superstar sneakers.
Adidas Originals is one of the most popular sports and athleisure brand worldwide, and this sneaker style in particular always found its way back to production for how iconic it is.
This style is known as the superstar and may no longer be used for sports unlike its original purpose, as the shoes were introduced as the the first all leather basket-ball shoe, and met the needs of the athletes at the time.
Watch below the rest of the shoot, that we take pride in it and are amazed by the way it turned up.
Girls just wanna have fun!
