Dubai Fashion Week (DFW) excitement starts tomorrow and I am über-thrilled to be covering the shows from a makeup & hair point of view, bringing you all the latest from the runway & backstage area.

DFW SS11 sees a total of 40 designers set to delight attendees with their creations. The show, now in its 8th season also moves to a brand new venue; Asateer at Atlantis The Palm, providing a much bigger venue, that is more in tune with the much anticipated growth of Dubai Fashion Week.
Marc Robinson, DFW’s official Show Director and co-founder, added, “DFW SS11 will be bigger, more energetic and a fashion display like never before in the Middle East. Unique original designs, new trends and a fresh outlook on hair and make up will bring visible enhancement to the shows.

Adding to the event's excitement, DFW is pleased to announce that Manish Malhotra will be the Grand Finale for the show. Manish Malhotra is the leading fashion designer in India, designing outfits for many prominent Bollywood celebrities, in addition to clothing Michael Jackson for his appearance during the Bollywood Awards held in New York and Kylie Minogue for the Bollywood production of “Blue”.
Personally, I can't wait to see Furne One's show, an incredibly creative soul and true artist at heart, whose show-stopping jaw-dropping designs pull the viewers momentarily into his world of fantasy of expressive freedom have always fascinated me. His Makeup & Hair team impress again and again year after year through their amazing skill sets and emotional creativity. I am thrilled to see what they have planned!
See ya there!
