SHEIN, the global online retailer of fashion, beauty and lifestyle products, hosted its first-ever kids fashion show to foster greater inclusivity for children with autism. The event was hosted in partnership with Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE) and Maharat Learning Center, the UAE’s first institute for applied behavioural analysis (ABA) therapy, as part of an ongoing CSR campaign under the umbrella of Powered by Love. The campaign will culminate in SHEIN donating $40,000 to the Center, following participation from the community.

The evening of fun and fashion aimed to promote positive self-image for children of determination, empowering them with increased confidence as they modelled the latest looks from SHEIN’s all-new kidswear collection. Three distinct themes from the collection were on display: The Artist in You, featuring creative pieces in collaboration with inspiring artists from across the world; Trendsetter, with chic and trendy styles perfect for the cooler season; and Family Twinning, for the whole family to match in fashionable style. Each category featured a variety of designs in neutral and soft tones. You can check out the collection.
