FASHION FORWARD SS17 #FFWDDXB







For the very first time, I'll be completing the 3 Days of this season's Fashion Forward Dubai SS17 Season 8. Fashion Forward (FFWD) is the definitive fashion platform of Dubai and Middle East, providing development, exposure and a progressive direction for the regional fashion industry. Attended by Bloggers, Multimedia Influencers, Buyers and Fashion Enthusiasts. Held bi-annually in April and October at Dubai Design District, the key component of FFWD includes Runway shows and presentations by the best couture, ready-to-wear, and accessories designers in the Middle East. Addition to that, Fashion Forward also conduct series of interesting Fashion Talks led by global industry and experts and fashion academia. 



 The Millenium Plaza Hotel Dubai, my home during the 3-Day Fashion Event, located at Sheikh Zayed Road where taking a taxi or access to the Metro Station is not a problem. The room is very cozy, stylish with complete amenities, comfy king size bed, flat screen television and I have the most amazing view which is the Sheikh Zayed Road. The closet is good enough to fit all my outfits for the 3-day Fashion Event. The location of the hotel is absolutely perfect. 


After I checked in, unpacked all my stuff got dressed and went straight to Dubai Design District for the Day 1 of Fashion Forward

A formidable influence in the region, Ezra creates modern and classic sensibility with a twist. Drawing attention to the female silhouette with the perfect fusion of minimalism and opulence, his approach to essential lines and shapes lies in masterful cutting and tailoring with refined embroideries and embellishments.

Breathtaking collection once again! The attention to details are always on point, astonishing embroidery at its finest, Ezra never fails to impress.

Back in my room at Millennium Plaza Dubai 


My fave spot in my room, where I answer all my email, draft a blog and have a cup of coffee. 


The bathroom is so spacious and has an open window, where you can have a view of the room while having a warm bath at the tub



The buffet has few options only, but I enjoyed this mini pancakes, pastries, and sausages with watermelon on the side
