In some of the most exciting regional news we’ve heard in a while, Fashion Trust Arabia is getting ready for another edition — one with a host of international heavyweights and one that celebrates emerging design talent in the region.
The Advisory Board has selected 24 designer finalists (all emerging talent from the MENA region) for a chance to win one of the 6 FTA Awards and the new Guest Country Award.
