Egypt to host its 1st ever Fashion Week next May

Egypt will soon be hosting its very own first ever Fashion Week, to be held on May 12 and will last for three day under the title Past, Present and Future, the Egyptian Fashion & Design Council (EFDC) announced on Saturday.

The three-day event aims to provide a platform for Egypt’s contemporary creatives and craftsmen, while exploring how technology can be used to elevate 5,000 years of history and skills in the decades to come.

The showcase will be presented by the EFDC in collaboration with government bodies and Creative Headz, the Austrian firm behind fashion shows such as MQ Vienna and Thai Silk.

“We think that it is the right time to tell people that: here in Egypt without importing, you can dress from Egyptian products, fabrics, styles, and designers,” Paul Antaki, the council’s co-founder and president.
