Maison de RA turns ‘identity' into main fashion accessory in campaign
Maison de RA launched a new brand campaign and pop-up activation at Flat12, is a reminder that when fashion listens – really listens – it can tell stories that feel personal. The campaign was brought to life by Untitled Co. in collaboration with The Offsite Studio, reimagines Maison de RA not just as a fashion label, but as a personal archive – a space that holds unspoken histories and layered emotions. 'The creative vision was inspired by the emotional intersection of memory, identity, and womanhood. The brand message is: You are the sum of all the women you've ever been. This narrative was visualised as a nostalgic, dreamlike space – a Maison – where every corner reflects fragments of her essence, told through textures, scents, and the intimate rituals of getting ready,' says Aisha Al Tamimi, Creative Managing Director and Founder at Untitled Co. The activation was designed to explore memory, identity, and womanhood through an immersive, tactile space. It focused on driving brand awareness and footfall, while inviting a deeper emotional connection with the RA identity. Unlike fast-paced fashion moments built for social media, this one invited a slower, more personal experience. View this post on Instagram A post shared by RA (@ Tapping into emotional memory and audience insight The activation centred around the idea that 'you are the sum of all the women you've ever been' – a sentiment echoed throughout the pop-up's design and storytelling. Every detail, from lighting to scent, was intended to evoke fragments of a lived or imagined past. The campaign was targeted towards GCC-based women aged 22–40, especially those who appreciate fashion as self-expression, emotional depth, and nostalgia. According to Tamimi the target audiences are confident, culturally rooted, and drawn to brands that reflect their complexity. 'We imagined the RA woman as someone who carries the echoes of her past with her – even those she's never truly lived,' says Tamimi. She adds, 'Our research showed that women often associate clothing with deeply personal memories – a perfume with a past self, a lipstick with a turning point, a mirror with self-recognition. We also found that Arab women, in particular, carry strong multi-generational identities – between mother, daughter, friend, and stranger – all of which informed the tone and visual direction of the campaign.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by untitled ان تايتلد (@ A brand space shaped by regional codes What made the execution stand out was how carefully it leaned into regional nuance. Rather than applying a broad or generic aesthetic, the team built the experience around elements that hold cultural weight and emotional value. Tailored for a regional audience, the campaign used Emirati Arabic in its script and drew on distinctly Arab aesthetic codes, from set design to styling choices. The narrative honored Arab femininity and memory – weaving together perfume, mirrors, lipstick, and clothing rituals that are distinctly relevant in the region. Maison de RA was a place to slow down and feel seen 'Our job was to create a space that felt emotionally familiar without being overly literal. The message: RA is more than a fashion label; it's a space that holds personal history, even if it's unspoken,' says Raoul Daou, Co-Founder of The Offsite Studio. 'From aged mirrors to layered textiles, the space whispered stories rather than shouting them – it was less of a display and more of a lived-in dream.' Visitors were encouraged not just to browse, but to linger. 'One thing that stood out was how long people stayed. A lot of fashion activations are built for quick interactions — this wasn't. People slowed down. Some stayed half an hour just walking through or sitting in certain areas. That was intentional. We kept the materials tactile, the lighting soft, and the layout intuitive so the space invited a slower pace. That helped make the activation feel more personal and less like a set,' Daou notes. 'The cinematic storytelling, Emirati dialect voiceover, and poetic visuals resonated deeply. Visitors to the pop-up described the space as 'feeling like home' or 'a dream they once had.' Organic shares on Instagram and story reposts showcased audience attachment, often accompanied by captions like 'this is me',' comments Tamimi. The result resonated. Instagram engagement more than doubled compared to previous campaigns, and during launch week, the brand received over 50 daily DMs and tags, many referencing how 'seen' or 'represented' the space made them feel. The response showed how powerful localisation can be when paired with creativity and emotional intelligence. Credits:

The week's events included an art workshop titled 'Cup Painting' led by artist Maryam Abdulrahman Al Hammoudi, in collaboration with the Sharjah Institute for Heritage – Dibba Al Hisn branch. Participants explored the beauty of Emirati folk art and learned how to use traditional symbols in their creative expression, while decorating cups with personal and cultural motifs.

In his words: Great quotes from HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum
HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, is celebrating his 76th birthday on Tuesday, July 15. Besides leading the city, the Ruler of Dubai is a poet and has a way with words, which clearly shows in his speeches, and every so often, we also get to see it in his words on his official social media posts. To celebrate, we are sharing some of the greatest quotes by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum On Sheikh Zayed Sheikh Zayed | Photo credit: Zayed National Museum 'Sheikh Zayed was not one to believe in limitations; this is one of the traits of a true leader.' 'Generous by nature and compassionate at heart, such is Sheikh Khalifa.' 'Sheikh Zayed was generous with his time and love, and, in return, people loved him irrespective of their differences.' *Zayed National Museum in Abu Dhabi to open in December 2025* On Arab history 'Arab civilization once played a great role in contributing to human knowledge, and will play that role again.' On 'luck' (PS. There is no such thing as luck in Sheikh Mohammed's vocabulary…) 'The closest thing to luck we have ever had is the fighting spirit and love of a challenge that runs in our blood.' 'They say that luck smiled at Dubai; I say that they want to undermine and devalue your efforts, they attribute your success to luck.' 'Positive people know that luck does not make them, they make their luck.' On leadership HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai 'A great leader creates more great leaders and does not reduce the institution to a single person.' 'The fastest way to happiness is by instilling happiness in the hearts of others.' 'There is no true leader who does not thank the people, and any leader who does not thank their team is not worthy of his or her position.' 'The positive leader is the one who can tame the lion inside him or herself, be humble before people, and always attribute success to their team.' 'The greatest accomplishment of leadership is not measured in monetary targets, but in the positive impact the lader has on his or her people.' On tolerance 'Tolerance increases strength and resilience and helps establish a global cohesive society.' 'Tolerance is no catchphrase, but a quality we must cherish and practice. It must be woven into the fabric of our society to safeguard our future and maintain the progress we have made.' 'What makes us proud of our United Arab Emirates is not the height of our buildings, the breadth of our streets, or the magnitude of our shopping malls, but rather the openness and tolerance of our nation.' On technology and Artificial Intelligence 'Technology is the rapid gateway to the future.' Speaking on the introduction of AI as a subject in school, 'Our responsibility is to equip our children for a time unlike ours, with conditions different from ours, and with new skills and capabilities that ensure the continued momentum of development and progress in our nation for decades to come.' On the future of Dubai 'Over the past 50 years, we started from the desert of our land to the desert of Mars. Our dreams will be even bigger for the next 50 years.' 'Our vision is clear, our road is paved, and the clock is ticking. There is no time for hesitation or half-baked goals or solutions. Development is an ongoing process, and the race for excellence has no finish line.' 'An Arab official once asked me about the target the UAE wanted to achieve from launching the first Arab probe to Mars. I told him: we want to send a message of hope to 350 million Arabs that we are capable of reclaiming our future.' 'We may not live for hundreds of years, but the products of our creativity can leave a legacy long after we are gone.' 'We will continue without halt or rest, for halting is a waste of time.' On dreaming big 'Impossible is a word used by some people who fear to dream big.' 'They say the sky is the limit for ambition. We say: the sky is only the beginning.' 'Does running water stop when it reaches a rock? Of course not. It turns either left or right and continues on its way. Likewise, a positive person is confident that no challenge will stand in the way of achieving his or her goal.' 'We are no less than number one. Whoever convinces himself that he is not worthy of first position has doomed himself to failure from the very beginning.' 'We do not want an airport for Dubai; we want Dubai to be an airport for the world.'
