FTA TURNS SEVEN: FASHION TRUST ARABIA RETURNS WITH A STAR-STUDDED AWARDS NIGHT, A POWERHOUSE ADVISORY BOARD & A SPECIAL NOD TO INDIA.

Doha’s glittering fashion moment is back and bigger than ever.

Fashion Trust Arabia is officially rolling out the carpet for the 7th edition of its annual awards ceremony this November 2025 in Doha, and trust us, it’s not just an awards show, it’s the awards show.

Known for championing talent across the MENA region, FTA 2025 promises another unforgettable night where fashion’s future meets its fiercest supporters. Think: designers, global tastemakers, A-listers, and visionary voices all under one impossibly chic roof.

This year’s categories span from Eveningwear and Ready-to-Wear to Jewelry and Accessories, plus the coveted Franca Sozzani Debut Talent Award. And in a dazzling twist of cultural collaboration, India takes center stage as Guest Country, in partnership with the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre.

And the talent behind the talent?
Say hello to FTA’s newly unveiled Advisory Board, a masterclass in industry excellence. Names like Reem Acra, Nina Garcia, Carmen Busquets, Clare Waight Keller, Simone Rocha, Mary Katrantzou, Anna Dello Russo, Erdem Moralıoğlu, and many more will handpick the 21 finalists that will be unveiled later this year.

But FTA doesn’t stop at applause.
Winners receive grants of up to $200,000, a one-year bespoke mentorship program, and retail partnerships with Harrods and Ounass, turning designer dreams into global realities.

Because in fashion, recognition is great, but resources, mentorship, and a global platform? Now that’s impact.

As always, Fashion Trust Arabia is here to raise the bar—and raise up the region.
