Couture Fashion Week NY: Walid Atallah (Dubai)

-

Last night I realized that I might have given up on a lifetime opportunity that might never happen again.... It made me sad.

One of my best friends spent a few years living in Dubai for work. Last year we wanted to organize a reunion between the three of us - the girls who've met almost 15 years ago in college and have been friends still...

But because of many complications at the time, I couldn't go...[sigh]

I had a great opportunity not only to visit DUBAI, but to have a safe place to stay, to see the city through the eyes of a local and - to see my girlfriends...This made me sad as I looked over the shots I've done for Walid Atallah collection at Couture Fashion Week - a Dubai designer. What a beautiful, exotic country that is...At least I saw a bit of the country's richness - through the eyes of Walid Atallah and his lavish collection of gowns...



Walid Atallah - is considered to be one of the Middle East's top fashion designers. It was his third appearance at Couture Fashion Week in New York City.

Atallah has become well-known internationally for his exquisite evening and bridal designs, and for his skillful use of diamonds, precious gems and genuine Swarovski crystals, including a fabulous bridal gown valued at US$1.2 million.

Small Town Profile: The Texan Style

  It's been my fifth year in a row spending Christmas in College Station, Texas - a town that I would have never thought I'd end up going to more than I do to any other places in the world. [How many times I wished my parents settled in places like Paris, London, Florence, Split, Berlin, or at least - in San Francisco and/or Washington, DC - the places that I'd be more than happy to visit them at more often!] So, it's a true battle when the holidays or vacation times come - to go visit my parents in Texas or to go to Paris, Amsterdam or Tokyo - or places I've never visited before? - a battle that I often loose in favor of my parents, and, thus - in favor of the little Texan town, College Station...
