For it’s 11th fashion week, the Arab Fashion Council has gone digital, from June 24 to 26. LIVE from Dubai, over the course of three days, 10 shows, 11 designers from Asia, Italy and the Middle East, and, the Beyond the Shows panel discussions, which will air live on the Arab Fashion Week website, this is all being done in partnership with Tiktok Arabia. Founder and CEO of the Arab Fashion Council, Jacob Abrian calls this year’s fashion week a “historical benchmark” in how they are able to create a new digital experience that benefits the global financial and digital trend. “We consider this move as a victorious step to shape the future of the fashion system into a more consumer conscious platform and sustainable culture,” he shared.
