The five winners were chosen by the likes of RORousteing, LouboutinWorld, AIMEESONG, and more via an online judging process.
LONDON — Five young designers have scooped this year’s Fashion Trust Arabia awards, which took place online due to lockdown measures from the coronavirus.
The designers were chosen from 25 finalists by a judging committee that included the likes of Christian Louboutin, Yoon Ambush, Diane von Furstenberg, Alber Elbaz, Elizabeth Salzman and Olivier Rousteing, all of whom met the designers via a series of Zoom conferences held last month. Despite the cancellation of the awards ceremony, which was set to take place in Qatar in March, the FTA said it wanted to forge ahead and give international exposure to Middle Eastern talent.
Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, FTA co-chair and chairperson of Qatar Museums, also highlighted the importance of continuing to work on developing the MENA region’s creative industries.
