Exclusive Interview: Meet Dubais Reigning King Of Haute Couture, Michael Cinco

Michael Cinco’s journey to becoming a renowned designer began over two decades ago when he made the bold decision to leave behind established fashion capitals like Paris, New York, and Milan for Dubai. The city’s vibrant culture had already captivated him six years earlier, but it wasn’t until 1997 that he committed to its promise. After immersing himself in Dubai’s creative energy for half a decade, Cinco took his skills abroad, pursuing advanced fashion studies in Paris and London.

Six years later, he returned to the city that had become his second home, where he established his own prestigious haute couture line in 2003.

Why Dubai Was A Cut Above The Rest

With Michael Cinco’s atelier nestled in Dubai Design District, he has successfully cultivated a thriving hub of creative talent. This environment has catapulted him onto the global stage, solidifying his position as a leading figure in the industry.

Cinco credits the city’s cosmopolitan charm and breathtaking winter landscapes for its rising popularity among international brides. ‘Dubai is one of the most prestigious cities that brides are now choosing for their weddings,’ he notes.

As Michael Cinco looks to the future, he takes a moment to express his deepest gratitude to the city that has been instrumental in his success story. Reflecting on his 25-year journey in Dubai and two decades since establishing his own brand in 2003, he praises the city’s inspirational impact.

‘This is my 25th year in Dubai, and I am so grateful and inspired by this amazing cosmopolitan city for giving me the opportunity to thrive and learn from the couture industry in the Arab world,’ he says.

What Inspires Michael Cinco Design?

Michael Cinco’s designs are deeply rooted in his celebration of love, as well as the ever-changing landscape of Dubai’s couture scene. His impressive skills as a couturier, coupled with his extensive global reach and unwavering creative freedom, have solidified him as one of the most highly sought-after designers in the industry today.

For brides who choose Michael Cinco, it’s not just about wearing a stunning gown adorned with intricate embroidery, beading, and exceptional craftsmanship – it’s also about embracing the rich cultural heritage of Dubai, where the designer has thrived on the global stage.

What Does The Bridal Design Process Look Like?

Michael Cinco’s global influence is evident in his services, catering to brides from diverse parts of the world, such as Europe, Asia, Africa, and the United States. Brides can initiate inquiries between six months to a year before their big day or opt for one of Michael’s exquisite ready-to-wear creations. The possibilities are endless, as exemplified by his show-stopping, $1 million wedding dress design for Victoria Swarovski, which made headlines in its own right.

Getting In Touch

To connect with the wedding officiant, brides can take advantage of multiple communication channels. They can start by reaching out to him through his social media profiles, where they can share their thoughts and ideas. Alternatively, a simple email sent through his official website is also a great way to initiate contact. For those who prefer a more direct approach, a phone call can be made to discuss the wedding ceremony in greater detail.

For those unable to travel to this international fashion hub, Michael is more than happy to schedule a virtual consultation via Zoom. During these meetings, he takes a thoughtful and personalized approach, drawing on the bride’s personality, wedding style, and most importantly, her vision for that special day.
