Qatar Tourism Chairman and Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Akbar Al Baker spoke about the exhibition.
“Over the past two decades, we’ve seen DJWE become the epitome of luxury and design, offering thousands of visitors a truly unforgettable experience. The combination of visitors being able to directly meet and interact with renowned designers and new participants like regional powerhouse Damas, will make this year’s edition even more of a success,” he said.
Valentino launched unique pieces in partnership with Education Above All (EAA) via the ‘Designing With a Purpose’ initiative. Proceeds from the sale will go towards EAA’s Educate a Child campaign. EAA Director of Partnerships Parintaj Ankleshvria spoke about the collaboration.
“We appreciate the organisers of DJWE supporting EAA’s mission to transform lives through education. Awareness and money raised from these unique jewellery collaborations will support EAA’s commitment to bringing new life chances, real hope and opportunities to improve the lives of poor and marginalised children, youth and women especially in the developing world through access to inclusive and equitable quality education.”
This year, visitors to the DJWE will also experience a unique auditory element, with an exclusive musical score being created by famed Qatari composer Dana Al Fardan.
Attendees can watch the exhibition for free by registering themselves here. The exhibition will be held from 12 noon to 10pm until Thursday, February 23. On Friday, February 24, it will run from 4pm to 10pm before switching back to the original time schedule on the final day.
