Once again like
every year, Designers' Week give the opportunity for local designers to expose
their creations to the public. And what better place than Zaitunay Bay to
install the little white tents and celebrate! Beirut Designers' Week started
May 27 and will end today just before the beginning of Design Week. The stands are disposed in all Zaitunay Bay from the Yacht club all along
until the last restaurants.
The best hours to
visit the stands are between 6pm and 8pm when sunset takes place and the
weather is cooler. The exposition includes mainly accessories from head pieces
to bracelets, necklaces and rings. You can also find summer clothing like
printed tops or colorful shorts. And for those interested in home accessories,
some stands sell cool items for the house.
And besides the
small shops, Designers' Week collaborated this year with The Agenda Beirut for
daily live workshops. They installed a small stage between the stands where
bloggers and media professionals share their experiences and respond to the
public's questions. Personally, I attended Roula Nahas and Nadia Mneimne's
workshop and I found it very interesting especially when it came to the
interaction with the people.
So if you need some summer shopping or have presents to offer, it's the place to be! Support Lebanese designers and encourage local creations! (Today is the last day).
