We seek beauty in many forms, mainly through art, fashion and all kinds of creative endeavors. Burberry’s trench coat, an important voguish power, became a favored number for fashion lovers all over the world.

As such, its undeniable glory is celebrated through the undertaking of the Art of the Trench, where people are invited to showcase portraits of themselves as they beautifully don it. The snapshots are then displayed on Burberry’s site for the world to enjoy. 

Arguably one of the region's best happenings, the Art of the Trench has now released new images of several personalities, who were captured wearing the gorgeously classic trench coat in different locations in Dubai. From Palestinian architect Tarik Al Zaharna to Jordanian fashion designer Nafsika Skourti, Emirati cultural influencer Butheina H Kazim, entrepreneurs Anas and Harith Bukhash, businesswoman Elissa Freiha, Saudi-Palestinian fashion influencer Dana Malhas, Iranian gallery owner Sanaz Askari, Syrian photographer Sara Naim and Iraqi/British visual artist Athier Mousawi, the project has now reached new luxurious helms!

And as the concept pulses with the thrum of creativity, events and activities will enrich the celebration, taking Burberry to even higher levels – if that's even possible! While the last event will occur in April 2016, this year's set of images will also take over all global social media platforms.

Head to our Photo Gallery to view some of the Burberry Portraits.
