The first Men's Arab Fashion Week kicks off on Thursday, with a packed schedule featuring regional and European menswear labels.
An entirely digital presentation, all of the shows and talks are being broadcast live on Instagram via @arabfashioncouncil, on Facebook and via the website, arabfashionweek.org.
With what promises to be an exciting mix of talents – some entirely new to this region, such as Arturo Obegero, or branching out in new directions, in the case of Amato and Behnoode – it is well worth tuning in to see the latest ideas for the well-dressed man.
