Middle East Gets Special-Edition Whitney Bag
Michael Kors is moving its store at The Dubai Mall to a new, expanded location. To celebrate the new Middle East flagship, which will showcase even more of the world of Michael Kors, the brand is introducing a special-edition Whitney handbag, to be available in Michael Kors stores across the Middle East.
The Whitney, first introduced this past summer, has become the newest iconic style from MICHAEL Michael Kors. Designed as a group of 24/7, work-to-weekend bags, the Whitney combines sophisticated silhouettes with on-the-go versatility. The subtle but distinctive ‘M’ shape on the front nods to the designer’s initial, a letter he’s been sketching since he was a child. Every bag also features a sleek, distinctive push-lock fastening with pyramid stud detailing.
New Victoria’s Secret Collabo
The lingerie giant has teamed up with the ‘Queen of Prints’ to create Victoria’s Secret x Mary Katrantzou.
The London-based fashion designer has come up with an exclusive collection that perfectly blends her feminine and innovative design aesthetic with the sexy and glamorous style that Victoria’s Secret is known for.
“Everything that Victoria’s Secret creates is about a woman feeling confident and empowered — and also having fun with what she is wearing, This collaboration is going to be bold, fun and playful,” says the designer.
Katrantzou has also designed a section for the 2018 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Her capsule collection will feature looks from the runway and will be carried in select Victoria’s Secret stores and online this holiday season.
Paula Ka Turns 30
The spring-summer 2019 collection from the iconic French ready-to-wear brand, Paula Ka, has been created by founder Serge Cajfinger to highlight the best of the last 30 years. And in a campaign shot by English photographer Charlotte Wales, Czech supermodel and actress Karolina Kurkova brings the new-old looks to life. Cajfinger says the collection is “inspired by the years when I, myself, was 30. A hymn to love, sensuality, freedom and the joy of living. I had a wonderfully good time recreating the festive spirit that reigned at Studio 54 in New York, at the Palace, or at the Bains-Douches in Paris. I added the graphic style I love from Greece, without forgetting the masculine-feminine theme or the little black dress, a must-have for every wardrobe.”

Stella Still Cares
Marking October’s Breast Cancer Awareness month, British designer Stella McCartney has launched the Stella McCartney Cares Foundation – a charity dedicated to the prevention, early detection and treatment of the disease.
The designer’s mother, Linda McCartney, lost her battle with the disease in 1998 and Stella has participated in a number of awareness campaigns. Now, with her new foundation, she wants to focus on care for patients as well as survivors and their families.
The charity’s first initiative will be the donation of 1,000 of the brand’s Louis Listening post-operative mastectomy compression bras to women undergoing breast cancer treatment.
