Dubai-based artist and fashion illustrator Hatty Pedder, best known for her whimsical interpretations of cities and their cultures around the world, has collaborated with Emirates Airline on an exclusive collection of apparel, home and travel merchandise.

“The Icon Collection” is Hatty’s interpretation of the distinctive Emirates cabin crew and the glamour of their jet-setting lifestyles. Her trademark linear work and vibrant colour palette bring a chic playfulness to the range.

Items in the collection include stylish floaty tops and sweatshirts that appeal to all ages, handbags and luggage, and a sophisticated range of home items.

“It’s been amazing to collaborate with Emirates on this collection and apply my techniques and style to a range of collectable fashion and homeware items. I’m really pleased with the final result.The look is unmistakably Emirates, but has a contemporary fashion feel to it.”

Hatty says “The Icon Collection” is a great option for gifts or souvenirs, especially now during Dubai’s peak tourist season.

“There are so many visitors to Dubai at this time of year who are looking for something special to buy as gifts or souvenirs. Emirates is such a significant part of the Dubai story so I think ‘The Icon Collection’ is a great gifting option that is not so obvious,” she said.

Items in the collection retail from AED 45 to AED 400, and are available at theEmirates Official Store at The Dubai Mall (Ground level, The Village) and at all other stores in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The collection is also available on www.emiratesofficialstore.com and can be delivered toUAE and international customers.
