A collaboration to nurture emerging Emirati designers: Dolce&Gabbana X ADMAF
Italian luxury brand Dolce&Gabbana and the Abu Dhabi Music & Arts Foundation (ADMAF) have announced a collaboration to launch the ADMAF x Dolce&Gabbana Award that aims to nurture emerging Emirati fashion designers while paying tribute to their heritage through design.
Open to current and recently graduated university students from the UAE this award will potentially cover clothing, jewellery, fragrance and home decor design aspects and will give finalists the opportunity to gain the necessary skills to develop and realise their finished products through a trained internship in Italy before being showcased to the public next year during Abu Dhabi Festival 2024.
Commenting on the new strategic partnership Huda Alkhamis-Kanoo, Founder of ADMAF & Founder and Artistic Director of Abu Dhabi Festival said: “Together with Dolce&Gabbana, we witness another milestone in both our efforts to drive innovation and creation, advance progressive thinking and empower the youth. Both ADMAF and Dolce&Gabbana believe in the strong will for evolution – the will to create impact and inspire this generation and many more to come with knowledge, enlightenment, and creative ambition.”
