Popular Indian fashion designer Manish Malhotra is set to open a boutique in the heart of Dubai. Sixteen years after opening his first store in the emirate, the designer is returning with a new flagship boutique in The Dubai Mall, which will open next summer.
Taking to social media to share the news, as well as posting an image of himself at Raffles The Palm Dubai, the designer wrote, “Ending the year on a momentous note,” next to an image that read, “We are delighted to announce Manish Malhotra x Dubai at The Dubai Mall, unveiling in summer 2023.”

Malhotra has enjoyed a diverse and wildly successful career spanning 30 years. Adept at endless reinvention, having started his career as a model, he began making costumes for films, quickly gaining accolades in the process. His work on the film Mohabbatein, for example, for which he dressed Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, earned him his first IIFA Best Costume award in 2001.
A highly regarded figure within the fashion industry for his elaborate work, Malhotra's address book reads like a who’s who of Bollywood royalty.
For his 2014 Men for Mijwan fashion show, for example — which was held in support of Chikankari artisans from Lucknow, India — Bachchan, Farhan Akhtar, Ranbir Kapoor, Akshay Kumar and Sidharth Malhotra all walked the runway for the popular designer.
In addition to his bridal wear, occasion dressing and couture collections, Malhotra launched his self-titled beauty line, Manish Malhotra Haute Couture Makeup, in 2019, and a year later expanded to offer jewellery and home wear.
Malhotra's flagship store within The Dubai Mall is significant for a number of reasons. As well as bringing his signature work to a new audience, it is a nod to the unique relationship he has with the city, as the location of his first store in 2006, preceding his Mumbai boutique by several years.

Libya's Gold
UN Panel of Experts found regime secretly sold a fifth of the country's gold reserves.
The panel’s 2017 report followed a trail to West Africa where large sums of cash and gold were hidden by Abdullah Al Senussi, Qaddafi’s former intelligence chief, in 2011.
Cases filled with cash that was said to amount to $560m in 100 dollar notes, that was kept by a group of Libyans in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.
A second stash was said to have been held in Accra, Ghana, inside boxes at the local offices of an international human rights organisation based in France.

How to keep control of your emotions
If your investment decisions are being dictated by emotions such as fear, greed, hope, frustration and boredom, it is time for a rethink, Chris Beauchamp, chief market analyst at online trading platform IG, says.
Greed
Greedy investors trade beyond their means, open more positions than usual or hold on to positions too long to chase an even greater gain. “All too often, they incur a heavy loss and may even wipe out the profit already made.
Tip: Ignore the short-term hype, noise and froth and invest for the long-term plan, based on sound fundamentals.
Fear
The risk of making a loss can cloud decision-making. “This can cause you to close out a position too early, or miss out on a profit by being too afraid to open a trade,” he says.
Tip: Start with a plan, and stick to it. For added security, consider placing stops to reduce any losses and limits to lock in profits.
Hope
While all traders need hope to start trading, excessive optimism can backfire. Too many traders hold on to a losing trade because they believe that it will reverse its trend and become profitable.
Tip: Set realistic goals. Be happy with what you have earned, rather than frustrated by what you could have earned.
Frustration
Traders can get annoyed when the markets have behaved in unexpected ways and generates losses or fails to deliver anticipated gains.
Tip: Accept in advance that asset price movements are completely unpredictable and you will suffer losses at some point. These can be managed, say, by attaching stops and limits to your trades.
Boredom
Too many investors buy and sell because they want something to do. They are trading as entertainment, rather than in the hope of making money. As well as making bad decisions, the extra dealing charges eat into returns.
Tip: Open an online demo account and get your thrills without risking real money.
