“Art Meets the World”

Dubai, 25 October 2025 – In the vibrant heart of Dubai, a crossroads of cultures,
innovation and creativity, the World Fashion Festival Awards returns for its 7th
edition, one of the most prestigious international platforms dedicated to
fashion, art, design, and cultural diplomacy. Founded by Her Excellence
Royal Ms Ioana Gratiela Elbada De Cantacuzino and Ana Maria Simion, this iconic event stands out for its
integrated vision of art and fashion, fostering dialogue between cultures and generations
through the universal power of artistic expression.

For the Art Design Section 2025, the Festival has appointed international curator
Sveva Manfredi Zavaglia as Artistic Director. She presents a remarkable exhibition --
both digital and physical — that unites artists from across the globe, from North to
South, in a shared creative conversation. This edition’s Art Design section features a
major collective exhibition that brings together international artists From Europa,
Africa, South America, Asia, exploring new languages, materials and contemporary
visual narratives.

A Bridge between Art, Culture and Diplomacy

The festival takes place under the distinguished patronage of diplomatic figures and
members of the Royal Family of the United Arab Emirates, within the Almas Centre. It
offers artists an extraordinary opportunity for exchange and dialogue with
Ambassadors, Consuls, Government Entities, Cultural Institutions, International
Collectors, Influencers, Lifestyle Media, CEOs, Entrepreneurs and Global Investors.
This edition strengthens the collaboration with the Diplomat Business Club,
an exclusive network hosting events in iconic locations such as the UK Parliament, the Burj Khalifa,
and the Emirates Towers — ensuring high-profile exposure and an unprecedented
international network.

The World Fashion & Art Festival Awards represents not only an artistic event but
also a bridge of cultural cooperation between the United Arab Emirates and the
world. Through forums, exhibitions and high-level meetings, the festival promotes
bilateral collaborations in the fields of Contemporary Art, Cultural Tourism, Art
Investments, Creative Economy, Innovation, Sustainability and Digital Transition.
