Fashion Trust Arabia (FTA) has officially announced the 7th edition of its prestigious annual awards ceremony, set to take place in November 2025 in Doha, Qatar. As a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting fashion designers across the MENA region, FTA continues to spotlight innovation, creativity and talent on a global stage.

This year's ceremony will celebrate designers across several categories, including Eveningwear, Ready-to-Wear, Accessories, Jewelry, Franca Sozzani Debut Talent, Guest Country, and Honorary Awards. In a special highlight, India will be featured as the Guest Country, in collaboration with the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre.
