HIGHLIGHTS OF DAY ONE OF ARAB FASHION WEEK WOMEN’S READY-TO-WEAR SPRING/SUMMER 2023

  • Historic co-collaboration between Jean Louis Sabaji and Barbie
  • An intimate Media dinner took place a day before the show to celebrate Jean Louis Sabaji X Barbie global collaboration
  • A By Invite Only Afterparty filled with key players in the fashion industry and Media feted Sabaji’s work and the most beloved and diverse doll in the world, marking the opening of Arab fashion Week Women’s Day One of shows and events
  • The Jean Louis Sabaji X Barbie capsule unfurled in an array of sleek, form-fitting silhouettes crafted with surprising details.

Barbie comes to the international fore in pure couture regalia — perhaps her most elegant catwalk debut ever.  Awash in her preferred hues of powder pink and black, floor-sweeping evening gowns embrace female curves, while uptown cocktail dresses come to fruition. An homage to the incredible evolution of the 2021 Fashion Icon Awardee, feathers and the heart serve as Sabaji’s iconic hallmark: the latter is deconstructed into an ironic bodice and crafted into striking neck lines and plunging backs, as Barbie again evolves her aesthetic for one of fashion’s most exciting epochs of all.
