This past Saturday a glamorous crowd gathered together at the Baniyas Majlis in Abu Dhabi’s Intercontinental Hotel for “Style in the City” hosted by Soirée boutique. Well known in Dubai and now Abu Dhabi for bringing the leading designers to the region from Pakistan and the Middle East, Soirée boutique allows clients to shop from exquisite collections.

Guests shopped with the assistance of a personal stylist from Image Factor who advised clients on this season’s latest trends. Guests were also treated to a complimentary makeup session done by Bobbi Brown and keepsake portraits taken by Pink Pepper Photography.

“Style in the City is a concept I’ve been developing for a while, Soiree is well established in Dubai which is why I wanted to offer this new concept to Abu Dhabi ladies. The VIP guests had the chance to look through three types of collections we put together, ‘Summer Fun’, ‘Glamour’ and ‘Ramadan’ and I’m very pleased they not only enjoyed the collections, but they loved the extra pampering too!” said Mariya Kassam, owner of Soirée boutique.
