In a refined evening that brought together global design voices and champions of craftsmanship, Huntsman reaffirmed its ongoing partnership with Fashion Trust Arabia (FTA) during an elegant cocktail reception hosted in London. Held at the private residence of Huntsman Owner and CEO Pierre Lagrange, and co-hosted by FTA Co-founder Tania Fares, the occasion gathered distinguished guests, patrons and tastemakers from across the international fashion community. The reception coincided with the 2024 FTA Prize recipients’ collection launches at Harrods, spotlighting emerging designers and celebrating the creative excellence nurtured by Fashion Trust Arabia. Among those honoured was Nadine Mosallam, the inaugural recipient of the Huntsman Prize, awarded to a designer whose work demonstrates exceptional promise in craftsmanship, innovation, and design.
Guests were welcomed into Lagrange’s home for an intimate evening of signature cocktails and conversation, as figures from the worlds of fashion, design, and philanthropy gathered to toast a shared commitment to artisanal values and creative collaboration. Officially established in 2024, Huntsman’s partnership with Fashion Trust Arabia represents a powerful alignment of vision: to preserve the traditions of bespoke tailoring while empowering the next generation of global design talent. Through this initiative, Huntsman continues to support and mentor exceptional creatives from the Middle East and North Africa.
In 2025, the partnership will take on a new dimension as Huntsman invites Nadine Mosallam, a London-based Egyptian designer, to join Huntsman for a mentorship. Mosallam is known for her minimalist aesthetic — her designs celebrating the female form with a modern, architectural elegance rooted in her multicultural identity. This placement marks the next step in a meaningful partnership — one that bridges continents and cultures through a mutual dedication to craft, mentorship, and innovation.
As Huntsman continues to expand its global dialogue, this collaboration with Fashion Trust Arabia stands as a testament to the enduring power of bespoke artistry and the future it inspires.
