This edition seeks to move beyond the conventional runway format by integrating designers and artisans, models, and garments, along with tradition and innovation. It will provide a platform for both established and emerging talents to display their work, fostering inclusivity and cultural exchange within Doha’s vibrant fashion scene.
Participants include a mixture of couture and bridal designers, emerging creatives, Filipino designers, fashion students, jewelry and accessory makers, boutiques, suppliers, and aspiring models. Notable contributors are Istituto di Moda Burgo Qatar, Filipino Fashion Designers of Qatar (FFDQ), Celso Collado Dahil, Nin Arbe Ladra, Vesti, Rosabella by Mon Sarmiento, Diva Boutique Kids Collection, Shine Gold and Diamond, and Sonya Styles. The event will feature collections spanning couture, bridal wear, children’s fashion, jewelry, and contemporary design, highlighting a rich blend of cultural influences.
Models representing varied ethnicities, nationalities, ages, and cultural backgrounds will be at the forefront, with a combination of experienced professionals and newcomers from the Sinag Fashion Camp Models participating. Through a process involving casting, fittings, rehearsals, choreography, hair and makeup, and backstage coordination, the models will animate the collections with movement and personality. Organizers noted the essential role of models in transforming fashion creations into dynamic stories presented on the runway.
