While we’re all aware of the glorious architecture and dazzling horizons that make up the UAE, it’s always heartening when a visitor falls in love with our nation’s gems.

Luckily that was the case when Alithia Spuri Zampetti, creative director at Paule Ka, touched down in the Emirates to launch the Parisian label’s Spring/Summer 2017 collection.

While the preview event was held at Gold on 27 in the Burj Al Arab, Rome-raised and London-educated Zampetti didn’t just stay in Dubai during her brief soujourn.

The fashion doyenne, who has been at Paule Ka since 2015, shared an exclusive insight into her trip with EmiratesWoman.com, and promised she’ll be back in the region soon.
