I bet most of you heard about the Vogue Fashion Dubai Experience (VFDE) that took place on the 10th of October at The Dubai Mall. Vogue Italia and Emaar joined forces to create this event that aimed to raise money for the Dubai Cares foundation. International celebs flew in to attend the event and auctioned off “experiences” that kind people bought during the gala dinner in order to raise 1million dollars for Dubai Cares. Meanwhile, visitors of The Dubai Mall got the chance to experience a similar vibe to Vogue’s yearly Fashion’s Night Out events. Stores were serving cocktails, spinning great music, had limited offers, etc.. 

Check out my 2-day VFDE experience in pictures below:
