design talents who are on the finalist lists of FTA 2022 Awards in their respective categories.

Since we launched FTA in 2018, our community has been growing immensely, and it’s incredibly rewarding for us to witness the journey of many Arab designers who have taken their brands to the next level.” Tania Fares, FTA Co-Founder & Co-Chair.

The finalists will be presenting their collections in Doha to a prestigious jury on October 26th while the winners will be announced at the FTA 2022 Awards ceremony.
