Fashion Trust Arabia Winner 2025, Yasmine Mansour.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In a world where fashion is evolving faster than ever, one platform continues to champion the voices shaping its future.<\/p>\n

This November, Fashion Trust Arabia (FTA) returns to Doha for the 7th edition of its highly anticipated awards ceremony \u2013 an event that has become a global beacon for creativity, craftsmanship, and cultural exchange across the MENA region.<\/p>\n

The FTA Awards have become a cultural moment in the region. Each year, Doha welcomes a constellation of fashion insiders \u2013 from celebrated designers and editors to celebrities, influencers, and emerging talents \u2013 for a night that blends glamour with purpose.<\/p>\n

The 2025 edition will once again honour outstanding contributions across key design categories, including eveningwear, ready-to-wear, accessories, jewellery, and debut talent, as well as offering honorary awards that spotlight exceptional global impact.<\/p>\n

In a powerful nod to international creativity, FTA has invited India to take the spotlight as this year\u2019s Guest Country, in partnership with the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre.<\/p>\n

And of course, the participants go under the discerning eye of some of the who’s who in the fashion space on the Fashion Trust Arabia Advisory Board.<\/p>\n

<\/blockquote>\n

The 2025 Advisory Board is once again composed of some of the most respected names in fashion, whose collective vision will determine the 21 finalists chosen from across the MENA region. These finalists will go on to present their work to the Advisory Board and Jury during the awards, with the opportunity to take their brand to extraordinary new heights.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s board is made up of many industry heavyweights including: Reem Acra, Khalid Al Tayer, Adam Baidawi, Nordine Benotmane & Juan Costa, Carmen Busquets, Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele, Delfina Delettrez, Anna Dello Russo, Dilara F\u0131nd\u0131ko\u011flu, Nina Garcia, Sofia Guellaty, Beka Gvishiani, Ana Khouri, Clare Waight Keller, Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, Mary Katrantzou, Kevin Tekinel & Charles Levai, Saloni Lodha, Saif Mahdhi, Sara Sozzani Maino, Erdem Moral\u0131o\u011flu, Ugo Mozie, Carlos Nazario, Gaia Repossi, Simone Rocha, Ferdinando Verderi, Wayman & Micah.<\/p>\n

Their insight, expertise and global perspective set the stage for a new generation of design voices to rise. Their job is simple, yet not easy at all: slim down the hundreds of applications to 21 finalists across seven categories.<\/span><\/p>\n

The FTA has proven over the last seven years, is that it has a deep commitment to meaningful, long-term impact in the world of fashion and beyond. Winners across the main categories will receive financial grants between $100,000 and $200,000, tailored to the size and scope of their brand.<\/p>\n

Then there’s also the Franca Sozzani Debut Talent Award \u2013 named in honour of the legendary editor \u2013 includes a dedicated $50,000 prize to support early-stage innovation.<\/p>\n

Designers are not only awarded funds; they\u2019re also connected right into the fashion world. Winning collections will be stocked for one season by international retail giant Harrods and regional leader Ounass, giving designers the rare opportunity to step directly into the global retail space.<\/p>\n

Through a mix of financial backing, mentorship, and international exposure, FTA is creating real, lasting opportunities for Arab designers and positioning them at the forefront of the global fashion map.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31739,"featured_media":65252,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[65,35],"yoast_head":"\nFashion Trust Arabia Returns For Its 7th
