Fashion Inspires Cross Cultural Collaboration
On February 24th, a tripartite agreement was signed between the Council of International Fashion Designers (USA), Council of Fashion Designers (United Arab Emirates) and Fashion Pakistan, establishing common collaboration and commitment among those entities aiming to benefit not only designers, but also other players involved in the fashion industry. Their goal is to encourage the collaboration of talents and the sharing of key market information and ideologies.
As part of this alliance's effort, the Creations Awards for Aspiring Designers was launched. This award added an edge of competition to the creativity of up and coming designers. This year's winner was Zahra Mohammed, a young Emirati designer, who presented a balanced collection with a mixture of traditional and contemporary styles. At the judges panel were Beth Sobol of Miami Fashion Week, Maheen Khan of Fashion Council Pakistan and Yusuff Mubarak of DSF.
