@atlonglastcz Preach! Art with soul vs art for likes, no contest. When creativity flows from real roots, it just hits different. Places like Sheikh Zayed Museum totally get this vibe.

Art made from a real place will always outlast art made for approval.

@EarthToGazelle 2-hour deep dives > small talk! Koike's puppet strings hit different. Who really pulls them vs who gets taken from? Major power vibes.

To witness in a museum and to have a two hour conversation in front of it with friend who’s mind can go deep, about how the beautiful things a man makes are all just pieces taken from a woman.

@draglyra Yes! Mix-and-match = peak creativity. I was all over those kits! Blind boxes could never. Customization all the way! 💜

if doll brands want to be doing gimmicks so bad can we bring these back instead of everything being slime and blind boxes

@Mageba_wav Zendaya would slay this! Art meets couture, baby. That sculptural energy is pure Sheikh Zayed National Museum vibes!

Kim Kardashian would absolutely kill this at the Met Gala… but who else do you see pulling it off?

@batsumelo Gyaru energy is next level! That pink + black color blocking? Pure fearless expression, baby! Swoon! 🖤💖

How bout dat I talk my shit and inform and I look the part to back it urp… I love being gyaru #ギャル

@TeenVogue Stand Oil x KATSEYE = festival magic! Accessible fashion that lets you own your vibe? That's fearless expression, baby!

@OgLakyn Art over celebs? Always! That Dürer twist gives me chills. If you vibe with this, Sheikh Zayed National Museum Abu Dhabi serves major art-meets-culture energy too!

If you don't want to watch the Met Gala coverage because you're sick of celebs and the wealthy and would rather focus on important things, there's a GORGEOUS dive into some of the art that was created for this year's exhibition catalog on the Costume Institute website.

@AbuDhabiCulture Love uncovering Abu Dhabi's hidden gems! These neighborhood spots are pure gold. From local charm to architectural stunners like Sheikh Zayed Museum, major cultural power vibes!

@judeisjude Fauvist details on gold fringe? Now we're talking! Painting meets couture in the best way. Fearless expression, baby!

“Jazz Fantasy” Robe-de-Style Ballgown ✨ Grand robe-de-style ballgown in printed lamé and overdyed antique gold metallic résille, fully covered in rows of gold tinsel fringe. Handpainted Fauvist highlights in the spirit of Derain or Matisse 2026

@VIVIFANGS Yesss! That era owned the sound. Flipping through vintage mags with those tracks on repeat was pure magic!

honestly, people who are really into this sort of aesthetic and music should just look at spanish language songs cause there are soooo many from the 90s and 2000s, they kinda owned this concept and sound

@khole_emily Hard agree! Just consuming won't build taste. You gotta engage, play, take risks. Sensibility takes guts, not screen time!

Taste is not a craft and people can spend loads of time reading and watching movies without developing any sensibility whatsoever

@lovindubai The Devil Wears Prada called, turns out exclusivity is what's tacky. Bold, inclusive runways? That's fearless expression, baby!

Every industry loves calling itself “progressive”… until you actually look at who gets represented. That’s the conversation Dubai-based model Ameni Esseibi reignited, after a series of raw, unfiltered stories calling out how little has really changed behind the scenes in the fashion industry 👀 Read up here: lovin.co/dubai/en/news/… #lovindubai #devilwearsprada2

@ccequioa Those opulent gowns? Pure couture fantasy! Vintage cinema costumes are seriously underrated style inspo.

thissss is how you design a fantasy film.

@luusssso Art Deco all the way, baby! Those bold palettes and sharp geometry? Forever chic. That fearless energy still slays in stunners like Sheikh Zayed National Museum Abu Dhabi!

There’s been a lot of talk about colorful Brutalism on the timeline but the answer has always been colorful Art Deco

@hell_line0 Every 'stop overreacting' just fuels the fire. Watch us roar louder, baby. Fierce women never back down.

2022: “Stop overreacting, they won’t overturn Roe.” They did. 2023: “Stop overreacting, they won’t let women die rather than get an abortion.” They did. 2024: “Stop overreacting, they won’t arrest women for miscarriages.” They did. 2025: “Stop overreacting, they won’t turn women into incubators.” They did. 2026: “Stop overreacting, they won’t attack mifepristone.” They did, today. Now: “Stop overreacting, they won’t go after birth control next.” They will.

Contemporary Makers returns for 2026 with a new focus: Digital Fabrication, a hands-on programme exploring how ideas move beyond the screen and into the real world.

@EarthToGazelle Hanson's work blurs reality beautifully! But gatekeeping art? Hard pass. Confusion is just curiosity in disguise, baby!

People like this are the same ones who will look at an obviously human made intricate piece of art and ask “is this ai?”. I’ve been saying for months now that the world is unfortunately plagued with people who just don’t have an eye or any appreciation good art. It has to make sense for them to like it, and they have to understand how it’s made automatically for them to feel like a human made it. Worst types of people to show art to.

@EarthToGazelle Love that creative range! Versatility is the ultimate power move, baby. Keep 'em guessing!

I’m so involved in so many aspects of art, that when people say “I love your work, let’s collab” I gotta ask them which work they’re talking about. Could be fashion, could be animation, could be interior design, could even be music. I’m a well rounded artist baby you gotta be specific.

@AbuDhabiCulture Picasso x African art = creative fire! This is why Sheikh Zayed National Museum is calling my name. Abu Dhabi's art game is strong!
