Dancers Star at Fujairah Fashion Launch

Young ballerinas from Fujairah’s Ballet Group had the honour of dancing at Fujairah’s inaugural Fashion Exhibition over the three days, 19-21 May 2010.

Style 2010 was held at the Fujairah Tennis and Country Club under the patronage of Her Highness Sheikha Sara Bint Hamad Al Sharqi.

This exhibition was a spring board to develop the fashion culture in Fujairah with the hope that it would become a regular fixture at which the latest fashion trends may be showcased.

The annual event will gradually pick up speed, recognition and sponsorship in an effort to attract top designers and buyers from the Emirates and the region.

The core of the programme was the fashion segments which featured the labels, Redda, JYK, MIMI Fashion, Babyshop, Banan Suliman, Shrekanth and Bisma Ahmed.

Other attractions included make up demos, raffles, skin care clinics presented by Areel and Kaya, speeches and a segment by a major sponsor, Le Méridien.
The many activities over the three days required good comperes to keep the show on track.
The Fujairah Tennis and Country Club created a festive atmosphere and set up the catwalk to enable members of the audience to get close to the action.
Men as well as women enjoyed the activities and the fashion.
The three day event gave plenty of scope for networking for people from Dubai as well as Fujairah’s crème de la crème.

Models came from all over the Emirates to show off the UAE style of 2010 and it was the homegrown troupe of Fujairah ballerinas that set the stage alight for the opening night.
