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:

Look: Influencer Mia Zelu goes viral at Wimbledon; social media users discover she's not real
Annual tennis tournament Wimbledon is a place where celebrities from every industry come out in force — and an event that garners a lot of attention for several reasons. This year, one woman — an influencer called Mia Zelu — seems to have stolen the spotlight. Mia has a 165,000-strong following and went viral after posting several photos of herself at the star-studded sports event. Complete with a stunning fit for the day, and a glossy hairdo, this digital storyteller looks like your average influencer; well-groomed, successful, travelling the world, and throwing in some inspirational quotes. But there's just one problem — she doesn't exist. Who is Mia Zelu? This Instagram personality is an AI influencer who serves up fashion inspiration, with a side of daily moments. She is simply a product of an algorithm, with carefully curated Instagram posts involving AI-generated visuals that appear startlingly human, and cleverly crafted captions. With photos in different settings, the AI-generated influencer closely resembles human tastes. While she has her "everyday life" featuring casual clothes and settings, she also occasionally splurges at concerts, in yachts, and soaking up the sun at beaches. Why did she go viral at Wimbledon? Mia shared photos of her Wimbledon outing, with an inspirational message: "Your time will come. Keep showing up". Commenters agreed with her caption and engaged with her post. While Mia makes it clear on her Instagram profile bio that she is an AI influencer, several commenters remained unaware. Some ask for her outfit details, yet others wish her a good weekend. But in the AI era, one can not be too sure — are the commenters real, or are they a product of AI too? However, some individuals expressed their confusion at the discovery that Mia was AI, having just found out from the news after her Wimbledon post went viral. One Instagram user said "Wait, so you aren't real?! I'm so confused now". Another commented "AI; I just saw on the news." Mia has 165,000 followers, and even a "sister" — Ana Zelu, who boasts 266,000 followers. Ana, like her "sister", is a digital creator who posts "snapshots of her life". The AI debate The two AI influencers are part of a growing trend of humans connecting to chatbots, personalities who don't exist, and tech "friends". Other than not being real, what do they have in common is a human audience who seeks validation through these artificial characters who are instantly available, do not judge, and seem to always listen. However, experts have reiterated time and again that such a dependence on AI personalities will prove harmful in the long run, as they can only provide short-term gratification, and can not take any real action, or provide real support.
