Dubai was once again shrouded in pale pastels, richly decorated fabrics and marabou feathers. The “The Inner Power” collection was presented there by Dorota Goldpoint, whose designs transported guests to a Polish orchard for a few moments.

Dorota Glodpoint interprets the “The Inner Power” collection as a celebration of all dimensions of femininity.
