, which took place on Friday, a regional campaign has been launched to raise
awareness
and funds for people in the UAE who are on the autism spectrum.
The campaign, called the Autism Spectrum Fashion Collection, will benefit non-profit organisation Senses Residential and Day Care for Special Needs. The Dubai group has been supporting people with autism as well as offering residential care since 2004.
For this project, 17 regional designers have offered their talents to create pieces that are being sold at auction. Based on the colours of the autism spectrum, each designer has been free to create a piece however they wish, and the result is a dazzling array of clothing, bags and jewellery that shine with metallics and iridescence.

What is the best piece of business advice you ve received?
For me it s learning how to delegate, that was the best advice that I received. Make sure you re a good delegator and don t feel guilty, about delegating. In your business, you can spend so much time trying to do everything and then you find yourself just being busy in the business. You then don’t have time to look at the long-term view or the helicopter view of, why is my business even here? What is it that I want to change in the world? What service do I want to deliver? You re so busy just doing all of the operational things that need to be done you don’t have time to ask yourself these questions.
