00:29It's a city which has been so warm to me.

00:32I launched my label here with my store here with Sara and Saif Bilasa and it's been 8

00:39long years.

00:40I'm doing fashion shows, presenting my new collections for people.

00:44As you saw the turnout tonight for being so reciprocative, appreciative and warm towards

00:48me and my work.
