Prada has launched a dedicated collection of bags, accessories and shoes for the Middle East.
The line includes a new version of the Re-Edition bag, now available in Prada’s signature saffiano leather, with a double extensible and removable shoulder strap, and removable chain strap.
In a prelude to Prada’s fall / winter 2020 collection, smaller accessories are crafted from gabardine nylon and enriched with embroidery.
These include a shoulder strap with adjustable trimmings, made from knots and tassels with detachable swivel lobster clasps; bracelet cases made from calf leather, nylon and metal, with a mirror inside; and mini bags made of saffiano with a polished brass finish and a removable chain shoulder strap.
Shoes include new variations of sandals, slippers, sabot and open peep-toes especially selected for the Middle East. A pair of flat mules in soft nappa leather are enhanced with a padded-effect construction, while Prada’s cube heel mule is newly available in a crocodile-motif print.
Trainers include a version with a knit upper upper; or nylon gabardine fabric with an enlarged Prada logo on the side.
The storied maison is just one of a number of luxury labels that have curated collections exclusive to the region in recent years, including Tory Burch, Dolce & Gabbana and Michael Kors.

Other simple ideas for sushi rice dishes
Cheat’s nigiri
This is easier to make than sushi rolls. With damp hands, form the cooled rice into small tablet shapes. Place slices of fresh, raw salmon, mackerel or trout (or smoked salmon) lightly touched with wasabi, then press, wasabi side-down, onto the rice. Serve with soy sauce and pickled ginger.
Easy omurice
This fusion dish combines Asian fried rice with a western omelette. To make, fry cooked and cooled sushi rice with chopped vegetables such as carrot and onion and lashings of sweet-tangy ketchup, then wrap in a soft egg omelette.
Deconstructed sushi salad platter
This makes a great, fuss-free sharing meal. Arrange sushi rice on a platter or board, then fill the space with all your favourite sushi ingredients (edamame beans, cooked prawns or tuna, tempura veggies, pickled ginger and chilli tofu), with a dressing or dipping sauce on the side.

How being social media savvy can improve your well being
Next time when procastinating online remember that you can save thousands on paying for a personal trainer and a gym membership simply by watching YouTube videos and keeping up with the latest health tips and trends.
As social media apps are becoming more and more consumed by health experts and nutritionists who are using it to awareness and encourage patients to engage in physical activity.
Elizabeth Watson, a personal trainer from Stay Fit gym in Abu Dhabi suggests that “individuals can use social media as a means of keeping fit, there are a lot of great exercises you can do and train from experts at home just by watching videos on YouTube”.
Norlyn Torrena, a clinical nutritionist from Burjeel Hospital advises her clients to be more technologically active “most of my clients are so engaged with their phones that I advise them to download applications that offer health related services”.
Torrena said that “most people believe that dieting and keeping fit is boring”.
However, by using social media apps keeping fit means that people are “modern and are kept up to date with the latest heath tips and trends”.
“It can be a guide to a healthy lifestyle and exercise if used in the correct way, so I really encourage my clients to download health applications” said Mrs Torrena.
People can also connect with each other and exchange “tips and notes, it’s extremely healthy and fun”.
