Exclusive European fashion houses show Fall/Winter collections for first time in Qatar

Located on City Center Mall's third floor next to Adidas, the contemporary and hip boutique will feature the brands' Fall/Winter collections in addition to five additional new-to-Qatar fashion lines.

Scapa will, in particular, present its Classic line at Metropolis. Defining fashion for over 40 years and staying true to its quality profile, Scapa Classic presents a style that is clean, spare and rises above trends to present a traditional, yet modern image. Fabrics speak of the season with quality cuts and designs in tweed, cashmere and soft wool. Created in colors inspired by nature, this fashion House offers a range of accessories including scarves, hats and belts that add a personalized touch to a style dicated by craftsmanship (all Scapa products are still produced in Belgium) and modern, but classic pieces. Today Scapa is sold all over the world in more than 50 exclusive Scapa shops, each decorated in the trademark nostalgic style. There are Scapa shops in Tokyo, Milan, Paris and other international cities, not forgetting Antwerp, Belgium, Scapa's home-base. Next to those, the Scapa collection is sold in over 500 multi-brand stores.

Bringing key catwalk trends to Qatar, Elle Pret-a-porter is chic and classy. Collection pieces are easy, subtle and display a modern elegance for the independent girl-about-town. The House's design philosophy is elegant, distinctive and tough-feminine, translating the key silhouettes of the season into wearable looks and easy pieces. Elle is internationally French, expressing its heritage and reinventing iconic French classics such as the trench and little black dress. This is a premium label, bridging the gap between High Street brands and designer label diffusion lines. The label has numerous points of sale in Europe. Brand stores in Amsterdam, Marbella, Stockholm, Bucharest and Kaliningrad highlight the retail operations. The brand stores juxtapose timeless modernism with playful contemporary elements and create a distinctive Elle environment. The collection is also distributed in prestigious retail environments such as the Galeries Lafayette in Paris.

Metropolis will open its 1,100 sq. meters of retail space with its individual and distinctive boutiques, central lounge and sweeping view of the Doha West Bay skyline the first week of December. Its urban and modern mood embraces the best and most distinctive of European design Houses and offers fresh, innovative designs that are, at once, classic, of-the-moment and forward-looking.
