If Dubai isn’t the capital of the world right now than what actually is? Get introduced to the three must-see pop-ups in the city of life this weekend.
Coinciding with Dubai’s 50th anniversary and the Expo 2020, fashion and beauty houses knew where to place their most precious collections: in the heart of Dubai.
While Dior installed two 3D circular modules on Dubai’s Jumeirah Beach (JBR) at Nammos, Gucci chose the iconic Burj Al Arab and Kielh’s went all in to the Jubilee Park next to Garden in the Sky at the Expo 2020.
Get ready and meet the plans of your weekend: 3 luxury must-visit pop-up stores to witness history, archives and limited editions of the houses.
Dior at Nammos
On Dubai's Jumeirah beach, at Nammos in the Four Seasons Hotel, stands a unique Dior installation composed of two circular modules. These innovative spaces were crafted from natural materials – combining clay, sand and raw fibers – using an exceptional 3D printing system produced by WASP. In a fascinating architectural interplay, the cannage motif, a key House code, is revealed on the walls of this ephemeral boutique.
Inside, Maria Grazia Chiuri's creations are revealed in acidic hues, with Dior Maison essentials adorned with toile de Jouy also on display. An audacious, singular showcase that carries the promise of a dreamy interlude. Visit and take some Instagrammable picture.
Gucci at Burj Al Arab
Gucci never fails to impress its lovers all around the world, and with Dubai being among the number one cities this season and while hosting the Expo 2020, the house launched a new “must-visit”pop-up store at Dubai’s iconic Burj Al Arab.
If you’re a lover of history and Timelines, then Gucci created one for you; you’ll get to explore 100 collections to witness the houses’ story through time by diving into its archives. You’ll have some quality “Gucci Time”.
Kiehl’s at Dubai Expo 2020
If you ever ask why we love Kiehl’s so much, it’s because of their close look and forward thinking towards eco-conscious and sustainable sourcing. The brand has located its temporary boutique at the Jubilee Park next to Garden in the Sky at the Expo 2020, where the brand will be showcasing its debut exclusive (and shoppable) “Kiehl’s Loves Dubai” collection while unveiling their new sustainable refillable concept. Discover all that when you visit the gorgeous pop-up.
