Choose White Label this season

This season, plus size designer Anna Scholz introduces her distinctly premium White Label collection. It features both of-the-moment and timeless silhouettes, incorporating striking colour palettes and eye-catching prints in luxury fabrics.

For the Spring-Summer ’10 White Label collection, Anna offers the flirty and flattering dresses that fans rely on as well as her signature kaftan and tunic styles with their bold prints and sequin embellishments. Her elegant tailoring and gorgeous coats are arresting and sexy.

Crepe Expectations
Anna loves to work with crepe jersey for its drape, its expensive weight and its versatility. Available in the season’s hot electric blue colour, Anna’s crepe wrap maxi dress sweeps in an elongating column. Her black fold-over jacket offers some of the sharp finish of a suit jacket or your boyfriend's blazer but in soft, feminine crepe which moves and flows.

Welcome to The Digital Age!
Anna’s fresh digital prints lend a modern edge to her classically flattering silhouettes. The new digital “swirl” print is a galaxy of muted tones with supernovas of bright pink. It transforms Anna’s silk pleat maxi dress with its sweeping lines and pintuck pleats into a graceful, contemporary statement piece.

Similarly, her wavy digital “spirograph” print gives bite to the elongated silhouette of Anna’s sleeveless jersey maxi dress with flattering gathering details.

The digital “paintbrush” print is a riot of rainbow watercolours splashed over breezy silk habotai. Anna’s handkerchief dress looks ethereal, edgy and elegant as it hangs in gossamer angles anchored by panels of black silk.

Bride Show Abu Dhabi : Bespoke Your Wedding


The UAE capital’s most prestigious bridal event is welcoming a range of new brands, products and services, offering brides-to-be and Abu Dhabi’s fashionistas a glamorous day of shopping and wedding planning.

From 10 to 13 February at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, and under the patronage of Her Highness Sheikha Sheikha Bint Saif, wife of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan Bin Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, The Bride Show Abu Dhabi will be an exclusive opportunity to buy luxury goods which are not usually available in the capital.

Joining respected wedding organisers such as Carnation, Dubai World Trade Centre and Al Khaleej Hospitality this year are AZURINE and Empire Events, wedding planners who can take the stress out of organising the ultimate family celebrations.

A collection of Italian jewellery designers are travelling from Europe to showcase the latest in sparkling gems and gold for the first time at The Bride Show Abu Dhabi. Roberto Casarin SRL, Fabio Fanfani, Bruno Aristi, Maggio Teresa & Damianacos Damiano, IMVIDIA and Clio Pro Jewellery will be bringing thousands of dirhams of diamonds to Abu Dhabi, ideal for engagement rings and wedding bands.

Representing the ultimate in decadence, Asian company Prouna will be showcasing their new concept luxury chinaware, designed by an international team of renowned artists and ceramic engineers. More than simple tableware, the collections feature sparkling crystals which embellish original and beautiful patterns on fine bone china.

With a bespoke store in Seoul, South Korea, the company’s exclusive presence at The Bride Show Abu Dhabi will be the only time brides-to-be can purchase the ultimate dining experience which blends Asian high culture with European tradition in a distinctive and contemporary style.

“Planning a wedding should be an exciting moment rather than a stressful one,” said Lucy Clarke, Exhibition Director for The Bride Show. “The Bride Show Abu Dhabi offers brides-to-be ideas, tips and the latest trends in the wedding industry to help them prepare for the biggest day of their lives.”

Also new to The Bride Show Abu Dhabi this year are L’Oreal and Kerastase, coming together to offer women free use of the blow dry bar, giving them ideas for bridal hairstyles and chignons. Furthermore, brides-to-be can find out about their exclusive wedding hair packages, which begin a month before the big day, offering a unique and tailor-made plan for colouring, treatments, cuts and products.

Well known Lebanese television presenter Claire Damaa is travelling to the UAE to launch her new line of luxury lingerie, Claire D. A first for The Bride Show Abu Dhabi, the lingerie, which retails from 300dhs up to 7,500dhs, features straps of Tahitian pearls, which can also be used as a necklace and bracelet.

Super Stretch line - timeless look & feel of premium denim



Fidelity Denim, an internationally recognized leader in denim design, announced the early delivery of its new Super Stretch line of denim jeans produced with Fidelity’s proprietary Italian made Super Stretch fabrications.

Balking a conservative, single style approach for April delivery, Fidelity is breaking away from industry standards by boldly offering a February delivery of Super Stretch in three new washes across four bodies for the premium/luxury denim market. In keeping with the company’s commitment to motivate consumers to buy luxury denim in 2010, Fidelity’s competitive Price-point compliments the game changing fit and comfort of Super Stretch giving hesitant consumers good reason to buy new denim.

With all the buzz surrounding stretch jeggings and skinny jeans, competitors have shown how reserved the market is by only offering one or two styles. “I can’t say I blame them because jeggings and skinnies are really niche, but jeggings have also shown how much consumers are craving novel new stretch fabrics,” states Fidelity Denim designer and founder Jason Trotzuk. 


“The trick really is to offer a game changer with traditional denim bodies in order to lure the majority of consumers back to the stores. I believe that we have done exactly that with a heavy-weight stretch denim that doesn’t just improve comfort and fit but does it in leaps and bounds. Our Super Stretch is called super for a very good reason. Once the buzz gets out, I assure you that stores and denim lovers won’t be able to get enough of it. 2010 will be the year of Super Stretch.”
