The city's style set puts its best foot forward at Dubai Design District – better known as d3. This urban development is dedicated to the fashion industry, as well as other types of professional design and in-house design studios, and is also home to a shopping promenade. With more than half of all major international retailers having outlets in Dubai, and a third of all luxury spending in the Middle East occurring in the region, d3 attracts global fashion houses to set up headquarters alongside new businesses. The result? Local inspiration interacts with international influencers to reach new levels of design.
