Mall of the Emirates Style & Beauty Ambassadors share What’s Hot and What’s Not this summer

Summer’s finally here, and that means it’s out with the old and in with the new! And, just in time for the new season, Mall of the Emirates’ Style and Beauty Ambassadors – Fashion blogger and socialite; Tala Samman and beauty expert; Huda Kattan – are on hand to provide Dubai’s fashion savvy with the latest summer fashion trends and beauty tips to keep you looking cool!

“Summer is all about colour, colour and more colour – contrasting great shades against your skin, as well as being comfortable yet chic. This summer I’ll be colour-blocking, wearing little white dresses and adding lace accents for night. I love mixing up my outfits – my signature look includes high-end pieces mixed with the high street!” said fashion’s it-girl, Tala Samman.

For the fashionistas looking to follow in Tala’s Jimmy Choo heels, Harvey Nichols, located within Mall of the Emirates, offers numerous exclusive, high-end key pieces as well as some great brands including Kimberley Ovit and Diane Von Furstenberg for amazing summer prints, and Helmut Lang for on-trend jackets to pair with summer dresses!

Moreover, no summer wardrobe is complete without pair of statement sunglasses and a fabulous handbag, and savvy shoppers needn’t look any further than Mall of the Emirates’ Boutique 1, presenting brands such as Victoria Beckham, Linda Farrow, Alexander Wang and Proenza Schouler.

For the best high street finds, the mall’s H&M has recently launched their eco-friendly collections which offer some of the greatest white pieces. Likewise, popular high street stores such as Reiss and River Island also offer the best in this season’s flared jeans, Maxi dresses and summer turbans.

This summer, make-up is equally as colourful - super colourful lips are everywhere! Beauty expert Huda Kattan states, “This year, the trends on and off the runaway have been bold and daring, with a hint of classic appeal. Think of outrageously bright pinks, reds and oranges. Adding colour to a classic look, like lips that are bright and in unexpected colours over a nude face is a great place to start.  But be careful not to over-do it”.

Huda goes on to confirm that runway-inspired pinks from Fendi and Diane Von Furstenburg are also everywhere this summer and when colour-blocking women need to keep the eyes simple which helps the look stay classic and bang on-trend.
