DOHA: Three local fashion designers showcased their latest collections at a fashion show held at W Doha Hotel & Residences’ The Living Room on Tuesday. 

Qatar grown designers Maqdeem founders Maqdeem al-Naama and Aisha al-Naama, Yasmin Mansoor and WAAD Designs debuted lively, colorful and trendy looks to dignitaries, VIPs and fashion lovers from across the city. All three Qatar-based designers displayed their gorgeous Spring/Sumer 2019 designs which can be found online via their respective websites. From time to time, they showcase their designs at pop-stores around the country which enable residents to purchase on the spot.

Maqdeem, famous for their abayas, stayed true to their heritage but also to their love of traveling and exploration of different cultures which was apparent in all pieces. 

“We’re really proud to being part of this unique event that brings local designers together under one roof. It has given us a podium to share our story and journey with the local community who are also passionate about fashion. Our latest collection is inspired by our love for travel and of course our Qatari heritage - and we hope that women who wear our pieces are able to feel our story,” said Maqdeem co-founder Aisha al-Naama.

Yasmin Mansour’s innovative designs and futuristic garments are luxurious, yet wearable at the same time. WAAD Designs, a Qatari abaya brand that launched in 2010 featured a mix of unique abayas and capes which can be draped over other WAAD’s pieces perfect for under the abaya.
