Schiaparelli Turns Dubai Mall Into a Gleaming Golden Pop Up
Schiaparellihas landed in Dubai Mall with a dazzling golden pop up, showing exactly how to turn retail into a spectacle that stops shoppers in their tracks. Open for three months from December 1, 2025 to February 28, 2026, the space reads like a glowing extension of 21 Place Vendôme dropped into Fashion Avenue.
A gleaming golden jewel in Dubai Mall
Official communications describe the project as “a gleaming golden jewel of a pop up in Dubai Mall”, conceived by the in house Schiaparelli design team.

Curated displays of ready to wear, leather goods, jewellery and accessories, framed almost like gallery pieces rather than standard merchandising. A retail journey that feels cinematic, from the exterior glow to the intimate interior, giving visitors a sense of entering a different world…
