Buchi
George said that the awardees were carefully picked with regards to their
humanitarian activities especially in the area of education for less privileged
children, adding that he is looking forward to a wonderful outing at the event
which will be taking place from October 20 to 23, 2016.
“Fashion
still remains the main thing”, he said, while making it clear that the awards
will not steal spotlight from the main reason the event has been put up.
“We
already have designers from around the world warming up for the event which is
almost here and we are working so hard to get things going the way they are
supposed to be. We also have classic runway models on ground as well as others
that will be coming in from other countries to grace the event.
“Dubai
will witness a confluence of global fashion designers and models and it will
surely be an unforgettable experience”, he said.
The
United Nations Ambassador also added that there is nothing like a point of
reference for the designers and everyone will be operation in an atmosphere
ruled by freedom, creativity and fashion.
“It’s
not a showcase of dinner wears, seasonal wears or cultural wears. It is a
showcase of freedom, creativity and fashion. We expect to see something and
everything because I see designers coming with their culture, style and fresh
creations.
“For
me, I want awesomeness and nothing more”, he concluded.
