the arms of Beyonce, Sienna Miller and Katherine Heigl (to name a few) with her stunning designs, 34-year-old Zufi Alexander is the handbag and luxury accessories designer whose work has whipped up a storm on the international fashion circuit.
Zufi, who was brought up in the UAE but now lives between Dubai and London, describes her time in the emirate as "fast, fun and fabulous." She is quick to remind those around her that there's more to the place than just shopping. "If you scratch beneath the surface, Dubai has an amazing wealth of culture and a fascinating history."
Mariya Kassem's enduring memory of Dubai, is the opening night of her luxury boutique. "I think seeing 300 people pour down the red carpet and into Soire on our opening night was amazing," she recalls. The 30-year-old entrepreneur who is originally from Karachi, moved to Dubai with her family 15 years ago. Since then, she's experimented with living in other places, but always finds herself back in the UAE. "I kept leaving to go and live in other big cities such as London and New York, but something kept dragging me back. Now, I think I am here to stay."
