After a three-season hiatus, Dubai's precontinental event, Fashion Forward, is back. But is it better than before? We spoke to its resident designer Michael Sinko in part two of this three-part series ...
And reaching the global market has been such an amazing platform for me - that's exactly my goal. I grew up in a very small town in the Philippines called Kit Balugan. People really didn't have style, and they only wore it on Sundays or weddings. It was a lush environment that allowed my imagination to run wild. She, and how many classic Hollywood movies she watched. I was fascinated by the costumes worn by icons like Grace Kelly and Son Davis, but in my Fair Lady it was Audrey Hepburn which made me really. Fell down That's when I knew I would become a fashion designer.
I am very proud to have done this, and that the President of the Philippines has honored me as one of the most outstanding Filipinos in the world. My desire is not only to make clothes, but also to create dreams, and I am living my life too. However, there are challenges. The biggest thing is making your brand stand out from the competition like fast fashion and online shopping. You need to change your strategy and adapt to new marketing trends, but still, you want to stick to the aesthetic phrase of your design. But really, the best thing about being particularly creative in this region is that the market is growing, so you don't have to set boundaries to try new ideas.
If we continue to prepare standard fashion weeks and invite buyers and the international press, Dubai will become an ecosystem. If we manage to become one of the most visited tourist destinations in the world, we can definitely become the next big fashion capital. I think by doing so we will be able to change any misconceptions about the reality of the region. Even in 2019, some people still think that Arab women are conservative or old in taste, but in fact they are the most fashionable in the world. Western designers are now creating incredible hijabs, abbas and kaftans inspired by modest fashion. We are setting the agenda right now.
