MCM turns up the heat in Dubai

MCM has staged a “Fashiontainment Show” in Dubai blending fashion, dance and a live performance by K-pop singer Sohyang.

The extravaganza took place at the iconic Dubai Mall on May 5 and was open to the public, attracting huge crowds of onlookers.

After the show, MCM held an exclusive VIP event at the brand’s Dubai Mall boutique, featuring more than 60 cultural creators and style influencers generating more than 50 million impressions within the first 24 hours. Celebrity guests and VIPs included Kris Fade, Sami Slimani, Deema Al Asadi, Zeynab El-helw, Ola Farahat, Supercar Blondie and the Twins Hadban.
