DOHA: Qatar Airways is the Official Airline Partner for Fashion Weekend International 2018 (FWI2018), in partnership with FAB Entertainment, taking place at Mondrian Doha between October 5 and 6. 

The weekend will begin with an iconic fashion show that will showcase global celebrity fashion designer and Oscar jury member Manish Malhotra with celebrity Bollywood star and showstopper Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Fashion Weekend International is a blend of fashion-related events, which will exclusively highlight designer Manish Malhotra’s work, providing the perfect setting for his debut show in Doha. 

The event has been organised by FAB Entertainment, a Qatar based entertainment company, and along-side its core partners – Qatar Airways, Al Fardan Group, SALAM, Mondrian Doha and Qatar Tourism Authority, will be hosting the extravaganza that will feature Rai Bachchan walking the runway for Malhotra for the first time ever internationally.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, Akbar Al Baker, said: “The iconic Fashion Weekend International 2018 is all set to kick-off this weekend, and we are thrilled to be the Official Airline Partner for this stylish event.

Qatar couldn’t be a more perfect destination for an event of this calibre, as the State continues to embrace an all-encompassing ambience for culture, couture and fashion”.

“We are also honoured to be flying many of the celebrities to Doha, especially as we have recently introduced our revolutionary and stylish Qsuite Business Class seat on our very popular Mumbai and Bengaluru routes.

We not only look forward to warmly welcoming the attendees at this event, but we also look forward to flying the show’s entourage in style from around the world to witness this unforgettable show, and to indulge in Qatar’s welcoming hospitality and culture.”
