Simply Abu Dhabi XI

1 6 5 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I encapsulated in a cage of golden thread and Swarovski or the animal print skirt in fake fur add a spirit of fun.

Navy is the colour of the moment, alongside China blue, gold and brick – the colour of school uniforms the world over. It would be grossly over simplistic to talk of a uniform in the fruitful and fast-paced world of fashion, but to an extent every woman needs one. The tried-and-tested old faithfuls in her wardrobe to which she can return in any emergency. These are those.
