A new pop-up concept at Abu Dhabi mall, The Galleria on Al Maryah Island, is all about supporting local and regional fashion talents. Called The Station, it will have designer booths, art exhibits and … hold your breath … mandatory gourmet food trucks!
Beauty stations will offer the latest tips from experts, and visitors can browse from selections of jewellery, perfume and accessory stands, say mall management. Inspirational talks and workshops will be held during the week, while live entertainment takes place on the weekends with performers, actors, comedians and singers showcasing their talents.
Participants include FMM by Fatma Al Mulla, who is renowned for combining art and fashion; Kandor T, a unisex label mixing influence from both the traditional and modern kandora; Sahar Karmostaji, a make-up artist who also designs and creates bespoke make-up boxes; and Al Zamen Al Jameel, a specialist in the design and export of customised home accessories and gifts. Azza Al Mughairi, the presenter from White Cube Radio, the Middle East’s Indie music station, will also be broadcasting her show #KeepitrealAzza live from The Station.
The Station at The Galleria on Al Maryah Island, Abu Dhabi will run from March 2-19 and will be open on weekdays (Sunday to Saturday) from 4 to 10pm and on weekends (Thursdays, Fridays) from 4 to 12am.
