Fashion Trust Arabia

January 06, 2019

I'm here in Beirut for the very first time, and thrilled to be sitting down with Fashion Trust Arabia's founder Tania Fares, one of its Executive Committee members Nez Gebreel on the importance of harnessing and cultivating regional homegrown design talent.


The Fashion Trust is a non-profit initiative that offers business support through financial grants and mentoring to designers in the UK (as part of its partnership with the British Fashion Council), and more recently in the Middle East region as part of its Arabia chapter. Tania along with a panel of esteemed judges as well as industry professionals who serve on the Executive Committee are hoping to elevate some of Middle East's finest design talents and present them on a global stage via more esteemed distribution, exposure, and a more robust business model.
