As the weather turns gentle and open-air spaces reclaim their charm, Marsa Boulevard comes alive once more. Its walkways filled with the energy of food, fashion, and wellness by the edge of the beautiful Dubai Creek. Between cafés, restaurants, and pop-ups, a new creative hub now takes center stage: Studio 152.
A multi-purpose space dedicated to celebrating culture across the MENA region and beyond, Studio 152 will host a series of fashion events and exhibitions. To mark its launch, ICON MENA takes part in the space with a celebration of ICON Sounds, our newest and first standalone issue outside of our quarterly calendar.
Fronted by global music icon J Balvin, the issue explores the rhythm of creativity and expression across sound and style. In celebration of this occasion, Studio 152 will transform into an immersive environment inspired by the issue itself, bringing its visuals, energy, and stories to life.
Across Saturday and Sunday, 8–9 November, visitors will be welcomed to step into this world and discover an exclusive preview of NRGY by Revo, a sunglasses line that redefines the limits of self-expression, co-founded by J Balvin and Italian designer Mattias Golling.
As Balvin shared in our cover story, “It’s really cool because I’m the creative director. It’s not something totally commercial, and I’ve always tasked myself with creating something very different. It’s my aesthetic, so it’s a universe of colour, which comes through from collaborations I’ve done in the past, all the way to the present day. NRGY is an interesting possibility for me to keep creating my vision in an aesthetic sense.”
At Studio 152, guests will have the opportunity to experience and purchase this aesthetic vision firsthand, with select pieces from NRGY by Revo available in limited quantities.
Join us at Studio 152 on Saturday and Sunday, 8–9 November, and step inside the world of ICON Sounds.
