Dubai and the UAE are unlike any other place in the Middle East. This is one of the best places for the flowering of fashion and arts. Exhibitions of painting and high-flying fashion shows are held to make Dubai one of the contemporary top art and artistic places in the world. All credit to the ruler of Dubai to have brought this about. Visiting Dubai gives you an unreal feeling as one is witness to stupendous architectural marvels like the Burk Khalifa. Dubai also holds international fashion shows and girls and top models from London, Paris, and New York adorn the catwalk. Dubai and the UAE are unlike any other place in the Middle East. This is one of the best places for the flowering of fashion and arts.
There was a welcome change as a local Emirati girl Rafeea Al Hajsi took part in the show. She is a girl from the UAE and she confessed that she had an uphill task to rise up in this profession. The event she took part in was the "Arab Fashion week" which is in its 3rd year. Last year's edition had a new girl who was a local Emirati. The show lasted 5 days and attracted record crowds and visitors. It was also broadcast live all over the world.
She was lucky as she was spotted by Lebanese designer Aiisha Ramadan. The designer offered to showcase Rafeea in her own catwalk show. Rafeea has large brown eyes with height and poise and it showed when she was awarded Arab Fashion week's best-dressed model.
Rafeea has also taken to the ramp in France at the Paris fashion show and this can only be considered a feather in her cap. She has now established herself, and her distinction of being the first fashion model from the UAE is a record that will remain forever. Others will follow but the ice is broken by Rafeea.
