Zaeem Jamal in Dubai

Another prominent designer in attendance of Dubai Fashion Week, 24-29 October 2009, was Zaeem Jamal.

Although he wowed the audience with his Grecian-inspired women’s collection and stunning red, gem-studded gown worn by Bollywood idol, Dia Mirza, Zaeem Jamal also designs a cool, urban line for men.

Of Indian origins, Zaeem was born in East Africa but later moved to Dubai so that he could be closer to Asian manufacturers and European customers.

Like the religious quest of balancing both spiritual and material worlds, Zaeem’s label, Z for Z, takes us on a journey of the seven sins, without fear for soul or body, as long as we remain in control of them.
