In November, Yas Mall will celebrate its anniversary with a mega, one-of-a-kind event starting November 19th, followed by a range of exciting activities for the F1 season.
Talal Al Dhiyebi, Chief Development Officer at Aldar Properties, commented: "Since the launch of Yas Mall, we have been working tirelessly to ensure that we continue delivering to our customers a unique experience with each visit. Not only do we bring a wide variety of stores that were a first for the Capital, country and region, but we constantly endeavor to host unique events that engage our customers. We look forward to welcoming residents and tourists from around the world as we gear up towards celebrating our first anniversary."
Yas Mall Fashion Week will be held from October 14th to 18th. The shows will be held in Town Square, featuring key themes in the A/W collections, including romantic, modern retro, pop spirit, 70s bohemian-chic, modern and west coast winter. Participating brands include Debenhams, House of Fraser, Weill, Laurel, Sonia by Sonia Rykiel, BCBG, Gerard Darel, Promod, Morgan de Toi, Ted Baker and HOSS Intropia, with daily shows at 5pm, 7pm and 9pm. The shows will be attended by renowned Lebanese beauty and fashion expert and television presenter, Joelle Mardinian, as well as popular Emirati female icon Taim Al Falasi and Kuwaiti fashionista Fouz Alfahad.
Visitors to Yas Mall in November will also enjoy a month full of exclusive activities in celebration of the mall's first anniversary, during which the mall will host special promotions and a grand event which will be unveiled soon. November will also be particularly busy on Yas Island, as it will feature the annual Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix races, to which visitors flock from around the world to attend the races followed by fantastic Arab and international concerts.
To offer mall visitors an exclusive experience, and following the success of the event last year, Yas Mall has once again partnered with Flash Entertainment to hold Yasalam Live at Yas Mall, in which several Arab and international celebrities will visit Yas Mall to hold meet n' greets with their fans. December will put an exciting end to 2015 with UAE National Day and festive season celebrations.
With this exceptional line up of exciting events and activities, Yas Mall will guarantee that visitors to Abu Dhabi of all ages and cultures will have an unforgettable experience to put a spectacular end to 2015.
