glitz & glamour at splash
A dazzling fashion show hits the city again
Splash, the leading Dubai based regional fashion retailer put on a glitzy fashion night at the Intercontinental Hotel, Dubai Festival City recently. Top fashion industry experts, stylists, publishing houses, fashionistas and Dubai’s social elite, rubbed shoulders with each other as they witnessed a dazzling fashion show featuring Splash’s Spring/Summer 2008. High on glamour, the show had international models strutting down the runway sporting the latest collections inspired by international catwalk themes which will all be available at Splash throughout the spring and summer months.
The rebirth of classics with a modern renewal was the main highlight of the show. The collections featured a motley of themes for the women’s line such as Humid Couture, Romantic Innovation, Classic Contrasts, Shangri-La and Neutral Nature. The men’s line included themes titled Safari, Simple Presence and Urban Life. The show finale was an innovative, exclusive collection for the ubiquitous denim brand Lee Cooper by the highly celebrated designer Jean Charles de Castelbajac (JCDC) who has designed for everyone from the Pope to the latest R&B, Hip-Hop stars. The JCDC denim range will hit the stores in April.
Raza Beig, CEO of Splash commented, “Splash is pleased to see such an enthusiastic gathering celebrating the spirit of fashion. We are everything about fashion, design and colour and our event has reflected this in full measure. Due to the overwhelming success of our debut show last year and the media attention received, we had to almost double the number of guests invited. Splash will continue doing these shows twice a year highlighting our latest collections for Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter. We thank everyone for sharing our happiness and success.”
Splash’s top stylists, along with Dubai’s award winning event-management company 9714 spearheaded by Bong Guerrero & choreographer, Kevin Oliver conceptualized and directed the show for the second time around. The evening dovetailed into a memorable after-show party, with guests swaying to the music selected by DJ Jade from Lebanon.
