Excitement is building for the FTA Prize awards ceremony taking place in October and the finalists have officially been announced. Reaching the final stretch of the FTA Prize 2024 are 18 finalists across six categories which include Ready-to-Wear, Jewellery and the latest addition, Fashion Tech. The regional talents, competing for financial grants between $100,000 and $200,000, are also in with a chance of receiving guidance from reputable designers, including a year-long mentorship with The Bicester Collection. And to top it off, winners in the Eveningwear, Ready-to-Wear, Accessories and Jewellery categories are granted the opportunity to showcase their collections at Harrods for an entire season.
Highlighting the importance of fostering a global design community, this edition of Fashion Trust Arabia will also have a Guest Country Partnership with Spain. The four selected Spanish designers will present their collections to the special jury alongside regional artists during the event. Having successfully collaborated with Columbia, Turkey and Nigeria for the Guest Country Award since its inception in 2021, the partnerships have become an important part of the annual event.
