Let’s face it, finding somewhere to get your clout sorted in the Middle East can often be an arduous task. Despite the proliferation of shopping malls in the region there’s a genuine dearth of stores that are genuinely up to date with the hottest items that saturate our social media feeds. It’s why many of us tend to resort to online shops in order to find the latest streetwear releases.
Bucking the trend of Dubai’s more generic retail stores, there are still a few outlets out there putting the edge into the cutting edge of fashion and helping to turn the Emirate into a hotbed of street style.
