After launching Vogue Arabia’s September 2022 issue starring the iconic actor Sharon Stone, its resounding success and global recognition called for a celebration of its own. And so, the region’s fashion cognoscenti came together at Dubai’s L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon last night to revel in stunning style courtesy of the evening’s dress code, Arab designers.
In attendance were Wissam Breidy and Rym Saidi, who was photographed in her homeland Tunisia with her two daughters for the issue, Karen and Andrea Wazen, Ruba Zarour, Deema Al Asadi, Enjy Kiwan, Mahira Abdelaziz, Nadya Hassan, Hadia Ghaleb, Layla Kardan, Anas Bukhash, Zainab Al-Eqabi, Cedric Haddad, and more. Creatives from the region, who are forever at the core of Vogue Arabia and spotlighted via our #BuyArabDesigners campaign were also represented at the evening by Rami Al Ali, whose creation was worn by Stone on a cover receiving more than one million Instagram views, Mariam Yeya of Mrs Keepa, Dima Ayad, Nadine Kanso, Reema Al Banna, Rula Galayani, Lama Jouni, and Basma Abu Ghazaleh.
As guests made their way into the ritzy venue decorated with charming arrangements by Go Flower, they were greeted by delectable canapés while DJ Karrouhat amplified the mood with tunes to dance the night away to. The host of the evening and Vogue Arabia editor-in-chief Manuel Arnaut welcomed everyone by sharing his gratitude with the creatives and advertisers for making the issue one of our most successful ones—both editorially, and commercially—to date. “With this cover of Sharon Stone, we had 164 global clippings of outlets talking about the magazine,” shared Arnaut.
The soirée continued as guests mingled over great food and conversation, while a life-size cover of our September 2022 issue served as the perfect backdrop to capture moments, making it an evening to remember.
