Dubai Fashion Week is officially the Big Four's funeral

Dubai Fashion Week is officially the 'skip intro' button for the fashion world. While the old capitals are busy gatekeeping 'heritage,' designers from Southeast Asia are using the UAE's luxury boom to launch straight into the future. I’m currently scouting these runways for my next tour wardrobe because these silhouettes make the traditional guard look like they’re still stuck in a 90s catalog. Why wait for a seat in Paris when you can build the whole table in the desert? If you're still looking West for what’s 'new,' you're looking at a museum. The future is East and it’s glowing.
