...spring 2001, Majed al-Sabah opened Villa Moda, a 100,000-sq.-ft. mall-cum-boutique (he calls it a "luxury bazaar") in a glass box on the outskirts of Kuwait City. The $20 million building is nearly as impressive as the swarm of big brands--Fendi, Marni, Ferragamo, Prada, Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent--clustered in mini shops inside, along with a Botox bar and a traditional Middle Eastern restaurant (with nontraditional Cappellini furniture) overlooking Kuwait Bay.

New shipments come in twice a week. "Competition is fierce, so we have to specialize," says a middle-aged shopkeeper dealing mainly in techno. A national subculture has sprouted, dubbed the Saw-Gash Generation. Dakou has its own fan and e-commerce websites, message boards and magazines-which review albums only available on the mainland as saw gash and even print helpful Chinese translations of lyrics and liner notes...
