Drama, creativity, fun, games, and a whole lot of attitude, it all went down as the first
00:13
season of Fashion Forward wowed the crowds.
00:16
The Fashion Week-styled three-day event showcased some of the best looks from local designers.
00:21
UAE-based designers including Michael Cinco, Fern O'Neill, Issa, Zahan Gandor, and Aisha
00:28
Depala boasted diverse collections as models strutted down the catwalk mixing ready-to-wear
00:33
with haute couture.
00:35
In a burst of colour and decadent fabrics, there were also regional designers including
00:40
Rami Kadi from Lebanon and Tahir Sultan from Kuwait.
00:44
The event kicked off with a talk by famed Lebanese designer Rahib Karouz, a Paris Fashion
00:49
Week favourite.
00:50
The event also saw international fashion experts head up workshops and educational forums.
00:56
Council of Fashion Designers of America CEO Stephen Kolb also attended and was on hand
01:01
with tips and expert advice and emphasis on how his organization support emerging talent.
01:07
From what I can see with the organizers of Fashion Forward, they have the clarity which
01:13
is really support designers within the region.
01:16
You don't need to put all kinds of bells and whistles on it by bringing in famous designers
01:23
from outside the region, really connect to what the talent is here and own that.
01:28
And once you own that, and once you have that foundation, and once you can not just celebrate
01:34
the designer's creativity, but as I said, bring in the business side of it so they understand
01:39
that, then everything else is possible.
01:42
Organizers said preparations for the second season of the bi-annual event are already
01:46
underway with the next in the season slated for October.
01:50
Fashionistas, watch this space.
