UAE. Dubai’s fashion-conscious shoppers will have even more reason to step out in style come September, when the UAE’s premiere fashion destination, Mall of the Emirates, welcomes a host of renowned luxury brands to its new Fashion Dome.

The new Mall of the Emirates Fashion Dome is the latest addition to the landmark shopping centre by owner and developer, Majid Al Futtaim Properties and will add an array of high profile brands to the mall’s existing 472 retailers.

Already the destination of choice for dedicated fashion followers, the arrival of over 40 luxury fashion and F&B stores to the new 10,500 square metre Fashion Dome will add even more choice to the high-fashion names available - further enhancing the exceptional Mall of the Emirates shopping experience.

The new line up includes fashion favourites Christian Louboutin, Cartier, Canali, Boutique 1, Paul Smith, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Galliano, Versace, See by Chloe, Bottega Venetta, Mulberry, Missoni, Diane von Furstenberg, Sephora and the largest D&G boutique in the region.

While existing premium retailers such as Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior and Gucci who are already present at the mall, will expand to bigger premises within the new Fashion Dome.

Fuad Mansoor Sharaf, Vice President, Mall of the Emirates, believes the arrival of such key fashion brands will further enhance the Mall of the Emirates experience. He said: “The chance to offer even more of the world’s greatest fashion names to our shoppers is a wonderful opportunity, and to be able to give them a fitting setting to open their top-of-the-line boutiques is something we are very proud of.

“We already offer a fabulous selection of stores but the new extension, known as the Fashion Dome, will expand our luxury brand portfolio and enable visitors to find even more of their favourite fashion houses under one roof. It will offer customers an unparalleled shopping environment, with dedicated parking facilities, eye-catching interior architecture, dining and the best mix of haute couture flagship fashion stores.”

The new stores will be set in stylish Italian Piazza style surroundings, complete with plentiful natural light from the mall’s second glass dome with a two-storey hand-carved stone fountain - making for a shopping atmosphere that is truly unique.

If all the shopping works up an appetite, the Fashion Dome will also welcome a host of suitably stylish cafes and restaurants including the renowned More Café, as well as the sophisticated French cuisine restaurant of Fauchon, PF Chang’s for unique Chinese cuisine with an American twist and Tribes which offers the best tastes of Africa.
