ME Dubai Unveils Cultural Connection Exhibition Featuring Designer Zaid Farouki In Partnership With Arab Fashion Council

As the region’s foremost luxury hotel and a pillar of architecture and the arts, ME Dubai continues its commitment to fostering creativity, innovation, and cultural synergy with its latest Cultural Connection Exhibition. In partnership with Arab Fashion Council for this year’s Dubai Fashion Week, ME Dubai spotlights the extraordinary work of renowned Dubai-based Palestinian-Jordanian designer Zaid Farouki, celebrated for his fusion of art, culture, and fashion.

Describing himself as an artist who uses fashion as a means of expression, Zaid Farouki launched his namesake label in 2015 and has since garnered international acclaim for his innovative approach to fashion. Renowned for his bespoke couture pieces that combine hand-painted artistry, intricate embroidery, and contemporary silhouettes, Zaid Farouki transcends the boundaries of fashion, creating a bridge between the past and the future, tradition and innovation, and culture and modernity. Farouki’s unique approach includes crafting fabrics entirely from paint and 3D-printing sculptures, such as crowns that reflect his middle name, “Taji,” meaning “my crown” in Arabic.

Dubai Fashion Week, the region’s premier platform for celebrating creativity and style, continues to elevate the Middle East’s fashion industry by presenting groundbreaking designers and fostering innovation. Set against the iconic backdrop of Zaha Hadid’s futuristic interiors, ME Dubai remains a steadfast advocate of the initiative by providing a stage for emerging and established talents to elevate artistry and create powerful synergies with architecture, arts, and culture. Together, the Arab Fashion Council and ME Dubai showcase global talents such as Zaid Farouki and highlight the rich cultural tapestry of the region by exhibiting their work, blending creative expression with unparalleled hospitality, and reinforcing Dubai’s position as a global fashion hub.

Available throughout the month of September until September 29^th, Zaid Farouki’s Cultural Connection exhibition at ME Dubai offers visitors and guests an exclusive opportunity to experience the intersection of fashion and art in one of Dubai’s most architecturally stunning landmarks.
