Some of the best designers are in town!

Stuff that has everyone all agog with excitement

If you are looking for that one-off piece of jewellery or fashion, you won't want to miss Araya on November 25 at The Address Montgomerie. The curated exhibition will be bringing together fashion and accessories from handpicked designers around the world, including Amishi London (whose designs have been worn by Nicole Scherzinger and Princess Beatrice) and Nalandda Bhandari (who has dressed Priyanka Chopra and Lisa Ray, among others).

Kids, it's play time!
Have you been to OliOli yet? The one-of-a-kind venue in Al Quoz is based on the philosophy that nothing lights up the brain like play, and encourages kids to use their hands, experiment, take risks, and gain interest in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math). The space boasts different galleries: kids can climb through the region's first textile playground, build their own airplanes, or learn to build forts or vehicles. Prices start at Dh120 per child and Dh40 for adults. Visit www.olioli.ae for more info.
