Unveiled.

In an issue of Marie Claire magazine that came out a few months ago I read the most fascinating article on women in Dubai with a love of couture. Although many of the women can not wear their clothing in public they wear it underneath their burkas and veils. Many can be seen wearing their huge designer sun glasses and Tory Burch flats etc. because it is the only exposed part of their bodies they can accessorize.

In the privacy of their homes one or a few women host a private female only party where they can come unveiled dressed to the nines in order to showcase their style in the only way that is allowed due to their cultural beliefs. My aunt Katie Rodgers, a realtor in New York City, lived in Dubai for 6 months for work and was brought into the inner circle of some of the wealthiest most stylish women in Dubai. My aunt told me about their dedication and passion for clothes that they will never be able to wear out in public.
