Dubai is becoming the favorite destination for “fashion” high stand or “too over” vacations (How can we call this place? Fashion Disneyworld? How come there is still people starving in the world with so much money to fry???). But… whatever… it’s there and somehow, we must confess, WE LIKE IT A LITTLE BIT. All the grand fashion designers are betting on participating in the construction of a new hotel concept that goes beyond the confort or simple luxury… it’s all about BRANDS… all in Dubai… and all at the same time.
