Beauty World Middle East announces Walk of Beauty

The Walk of Beauty, sponsored by Kadus, is set to showcase the foremost trends in creativity and style including 24 leading hairstylists from around the region, beauticians and makeup artists who will present their creations to live audiences throughout the 3 day event.

This dramatic fashion show, scheduled to be held at the Dubai World Trade Centre from the 22 - 24 May 2006, will also feature glamorous catwalk models presenting the latest trends in the fashion industry in the Middle East. The stage setting will accommodate up to 600 visitors per show and there will be 11 shows staged daily.

In recent years the fashion industry has grown dramatically within the Middle East. Generally people are becoming more aware of their appearance, eating healthily and exercising. Affluence has also brought freedom of choice and ignited a fire-storm of shopping fanned by the local desire to have the latest trends. Whether it's designer labels, cosmetics or fragrances, all are part of an everyday repertoire of style accessories that transcend genders, nationalities and cultures.

These are all contributing factors to the success of Beautyworld Middle East, which has grown substantially each year.
