Dubai — The city of celebrations is set to welcome influential entrepreneurial and fashion star couple Giuliana and Bill Rancic to the desert, in the run up to the launch of the 20th anniversary edition of Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF).
This will be the US celebrity couple’s debut trip to the Middle East’s fashion and shopping capital. On December 30 the duo will co-host Virgin Radio’s morning show as well as join an interactive 60-minute roundtable conference with top regional and local fashion and lifestyle bloggers.
Officially launching DSF 2015 at midnight from the dazzling grounds of Meydan on New Year’s Eve, the Rancics will be the hosts of #DXBNYE – Dubai’s biggest New Year party. The couple’s huge international fan following is expected to attract huge crowds, as they lead a smashing countdown to usher in the spectacular DSF 20th anniversary festivities.
Up next on their highly anticipated trip is the launch of one of DSF’s main attractions, the Celebrity Pop-up Shop at The Beach – opposite JBR, during which Giuliana will unveil her new collection from her signature G by GR clothing line to the world for the first time ever on January 1.
Those looking to give their New Year fashion resolutions a creative edge can borrow some tips and tricks from the celebrated style connoisseur at her exclusive styling session at 6pm on the same day. This will be immediately followed by a Meet-and-Greet session for fans of the famous style couple. On January 2, Bill, winner of the first season of Donald Trump’s reality television show, The Apprentice, will lead a 75-minute SME business seminar.
This year’s DSF promises to be bigger than ever with the launch of ‘A Journey of Celebrations’ and a multi Grammy award-winning line-up of performers, including Pharrell Williams, Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike, Charlie XCX, Sky Blu, Paul Oakenfold and Seb Fontaine, to name a few.
The 20th edition of DSF is organised by the Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE), an agency of the Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM), and will take place from January 1 to February 1 offering citywide events, mega attractions and numerous shopping opportunities and winning options for visitors and residents from around the world.
