I currently live in London but everytime I go back home to the Gulf I am stunned by how well dressed the women are - even more so then girls in this city here. Coffee mornings require designer handbags, nights out need expensive shoes and wedding party favourites are Elie Saab and Chanel - all the time. I think someone should go out to the middle east, and particularly the Gulf, and make a documentary on fashion and how important it is to women.

It already has! Have you ever been shopping in Beirut? or Dubai for that matter? These girls wouldn't be caught dead in Marc...they rock Mcqueen, Chanel and Prada like it's their job.
