• ELEVATE is taking place exclusively during the month of December as part of the mall’s festive season celebrations 

Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Majid Al Futtaim’s flagship luxury destination, Mall of the Emirates has collaborated with ELEVATE, a unique pop-up fashion and design concept, bringing to life an exclusive platform that provides creators with a springboard to develop their business and reach dynamic new markets in the region. Organised for one month only until December 30, 2019, ELEVATE invites style-focused shoppers to discover special pieces and collections from a selection of the most exciting local, regional and international creators.

Celebrating the festive season in a uniquely stylish way this December, Mall of the Emirates will see more than 50 designers from the Middle East reveal at ELEVATE their compelling designs of clothing, handbags, shoes and accessories, home décor and jewellery. Not only that, the socialised shopping experience will host additional talks, media and influencer collaborations, styling sessions, interviews, and sponsor-led activations. Through these sessions, creators are expected to maximise their revenues and brand reach through networking opportunities and interaction with buyers.

The first high-profile name to make an appearance at the ELEVATE space will be illustrious couturier Rami Kadi, whose creations have graced Paris Fashion Week. The Lebanese-American designer will play mentor to up and coming designers, and discuss the fashion trade as he hosts a talk on Tuesday 10 December at 3 pm. Further enriching the experience for visitors will be a host of other prominent industry names throughout the month, including Zeynab El-Helw, popularly known as the Fashion Pirate.

Nada Abou Saab, Majid Al Futtaim - Director, Marketing East Region, Shopping Malls commented: “We are thrilled to host the innovative ELEVATE concept for a limited time only as we underscore Mall of the  Emirates’ status as an original platform for local talent to showcase their creative design artworks. As a provider of a truly premium customer experience, we are committed to create unique engaging concepts for our community, and ELEVATE is one such authentic initiative that we are proud to organise, as we continue to inspire, encourage and empower talented designers from the region to shine and grow.”

ELEVATE is the creation of Pierette Yammine and Nadine Kabbara, who have transformed their shared passion for art, design and fashion into a project that supports creators trying to find a foothold in the industry.

Nadine Kabbara, Co-founder of ELEVATE Middle East, said: “We have a firm commitment to support creators and reinforce the impact of design on culture in the Middle East.
