It somehow seems so odd to see a Galeries Lafayette in a Dubai Mall, although here it is. We're guessing that this is another franchise of course, just like almost every other brand here, although most of these stores do manage to maintain the brands' standards that one would expect. Anyway, we haven't had time to have a scout around inside here and although the schemes here are interesting they do seem to lack the sharp cultural references that we see in London or New York but then there is so little in the form of cutting edge stuff happening around the country to draw upon, the most being Madonna in concert and censorship is painful so we have to overlook this for now.
