Hold onto your oversized blazers, Abu Dhabi—The Frankie Shop has officially landed, and it’s bringing its A-game. Known globally for redefining minimalism (yes, that power-shoulder look you secretly tried to recreate with a pillow under your tee), The Frankie Shop is making its Middle East debut in style. And not just any style—we’re talking a full-blown, curated, power-dressing-meets-desert-glam spectacle from April 18 to May 1, 2025, at Region Concept Space, MiZa.
Now, this isn’t just a shop-it-and-skip pop-up. Oh no. This is a moment. A limited-edition Abu Dhabi collection, dreamt up just for the city, will grace the racks—featuring sun-kissed hues, whisper-soft silks, and the kind of breezy linens that scream “I summer in Santorini” (even if you don’t). Inspired by the UAE’s rich culture and striking desert landscapes, every piece reflects effortless confidence, modern modesty, and that timeless Frankie edge.

Here’s What’s Popping (Literally)
Beyond the racks of fashion heaven, expect a curated fusion of culture, coffee, and creative vibes.
