DUBAI, UAE, Oct 17, (Agencies): The curtain has fallen on Dubai Fashion Week, a spectacular showcase of regional and international fashion labels in the vibrant heart of the Dubai Design District. As the event reached its climax, the renowned Dubai-based designer Michael Cinco, celebrated for his creations worn by global stars like Beyonce, Lady Gaga, and Jennifer Lopez, took center stage with his latest collection. The evening was further illuminated by the presence of British supermodel Naomi Campbell, who graced the runway for the Malaysian luxury fashion house, Rizman Ruzaini.

Cinco’s collection was a captivating homage to Spanish culture, featuring stunning capes, intricately embroidered fabrics, and oversized epaulets adorned with dazzling gemstones. The collection encompassed fiery red-and-black blazers that paid homage to the matador aesthetic, as well as corsets, skirts, and playful playsuits that added versatility to the lineup.

In a separate spotlight, Rizman Nordin and Ruzaini Jamil presented a breathtaking collection of 60 looks. Naomi Campbell radiated in a handcrafted gown adorned with thousands of sparkling gemstones. The inspiration for this collection was drawn from the enchanting tale of Seri Gumum, the legendary dragon that once roamed the dark waters of Lake Chini in Malaysia.
