TAKE PART ALONGSIDE MADE IN ITALY LUXURY

The Fashion Market in Qatar is the one with the highest growth among all those in the Middle East area.
 
More than 300 brands of the most sought-after and niche luxury from around the world are invited to present their creations annually and to sell their creative mood.
 
The selection of designers representing Italian artisan luxury has been entrusted to the internationalization platform: Made in Italy Luxury.
 
During the year in prestigious locations in Doha there are fashion shows, interviews, forums and workshops that allow the audience of buyers and visitors to get to know brands and designers: even temporary boutiques are set up, where you can buy clothes, shoes, bags, jewels and perfumes for “heya” (in Arabic “lei”).
 
Events therefore both B2B and B2C: dedicated to exhibitors’ meetings with buyers from the big luxury Qatar malls, open to a mixed male and female audience as appropriate.
Kermesse created for women empowerment in partnership with the Qatar Business Incubator Center.
