The Fortnight of Fashion will celebrate the very best in craftsmanship and creativity. Harper's Bazaar readers will be treated to two weeks during which the whole region can indulge in our shared love for style. It's every fashion addict's dream.’

Louise Nichol, Editor-in-chief of Harper’s Bazaar Arabia, added, “For two weeks in October, The Dubai Mall will be transformed into a playground showcasing the world's best style, fashion and beauty.”
