Dubai is home to some very impressive and iconic skyscrapers, and I am sure when people see these high rise buildings, they represent aspects of the city's commerce, hospitality, economic growth, interior design, architecture. When I see the towers, I see dresses- drapery amongst steel.

I am uncertain whether it is the architecture or the luxurious nature of the city that constantly makes me feel as if I am front row at Fashion Week- or maybe it is just me? Dubai's skyscrapers stand alongside one another like super models backstage waiting for their cue, or at a line up after the show is over.
Needless to say the UAE, an infant in comparison to other countries, is making unprecedented progress (in spite of the recent crisis), not only in it's architecture but (amongst an endless list) facilitating business and economic growth, the arts, fashion, culture, real estate
Happy National Day!
