At the Oxybleach Indian International Fashion Week held recently in Delhi, the Dubai based fashion designer Walid Attalah showed his famous diamond encrusted gown carrying a price tag of $1.2millionr. As reported in HT, he said, “The first family of Saudi Arabia are my long time clients and they visit my showroom whenever they have an occasion at home. When the princess (I can’t reveal her name) saw that dress in my store, she asked me if I have used real diamonds and emeralds. I said yes ... she decided to pay without a doubt.” Attalah added, “I have shown the same gown in the New York Couture Week this September, which was worn by one of the daughters of Queen Elena of Italy. Though I altered it a bit, made a gold corset with skirt made of organza in off-white shade to make it simpler for the clients there. This one is priced at $ 1 million.”
