DUBAI: Lebanese superstar Maya Diab is set to open Arab Fashion Week, which will be streamed virtually on Facebook Inc. platforms from Oct. 21-24, it was announced this week.
“The entire world is passing through a transitional period of stepping into the new world’s revolution which is governed by technology and artificial intelligence. We… are taking the right steps to ensure our fashion community is ready to be part of the big change” Jacob Abrian, founder and CEO of the Arab Fashion Council, said.
Arab Fashion Week will feature more than 30 fashion designers from across the Middle East, Europe and America, in addition to a day dedicated to Brazilian designers.
