UAE’s reinventors: carving new lives in the Emirates

The UAE has been likened to the feverish gold rushes of the 19th century. People from all over the world have come to claim their stake in a country that is developing like no other.

Some have moved here to start over again after mishaps of the past dried up the potential to carry on in the same place. Others came to be part of the rush. But most are here because the opportunities, they say, are just so much better than anywhere else.

Jessica Kahawaty is in the UAE with one goal – to “revolutionise the modelling industry in the Middle East.”

The Australian-Lebanese Kahawaty has always dreamt of being a role model and came here because she feels the UAE has the right opportunities.

After just missing out on the prestigious title of Miss World as Miss Australia in 2012, the 2nd runner-up has already been on the first cover of L’Officiel Middle East and the first cover for Middle East Condé Nast Traveller.
