The Frankie Shop has made its Middle East debut with an exclusive pop-up in Abu Dhabi in collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Investment Office. The pop-up will be open to the public until 1 May 2025 at Abu Dhabi's Region Concept Space in MiZa and offers visitors the opportunity to browse ready-to-wear, explore interactive installations and attend styling sessions with leading regional stylists and The Frankie Shop founder, Gaëlle Drevet.
Not only is this the brand's first-ever physical retail space in the region, but the pop-up also features a 50-piece collection of Abu Dhabi-exclusive designs - think workwear staples, airy linens and the brand's signature sharp-shouldered silhouettes. "Nothing empowers you more than clothes - a power shoulder, a blazer. Thanks to clothes, we can say something about ourselves," explained Drevet at the opening of the pop-up. The pop-up mirrors The Frankie Shop's contemporary aesthetic with minimalist interiors bathed in neutral hues.
Alongside the shopping experience, the pop-up also introduces a selection of lifestyle collaborations including the 48 Collagen Café, where guests can enjoy specialty coffees with a side of skincare; a curated selection of Karen Wazen eyewear; and an illustration by Tulip Hazbar which pays homage to the capital.
