About Us

FTA is a non-profit organization that provides financial support, guidance and mentorships to emerging designers from across the MENA, while also functioning as a platform of opportunity through which talented Arab designers can grow and receive international recognition.

FTA Prize is the first of its kind initiative in the Arab world. The first edition was successfully launched in 2018, under the patronage and presence of FTA’s Honorary Chair HH Sheikha Moza bint Nasser and Co-chairs HE Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad Al Thani and Tania Fares at an annual awards ceremony event held Doha, Qatar. Each year, six winning designers are selected across six different design categories with a seventh category launched this year; The Fashion Tech Award 2024. The Prize is currently on its 6th edition and applications are currently open. Learn more about our prize categories here or click here to apply.

FTA is dedicated to supporting and highlighting Arab creatives by shedding the light on talents and creatives from across the MENA region while supporting and promoting their work through its platforms. FTA regularly collaborates and partners with brands on capsule collections aimed at fundraising for its community of designers. Learn more about our Collaborations here.
