Whilst the decision now is to go back to full physical activation, GoDaddy will empower the regional creative talent and entrepreneurs to scale their online presence to help reach global audiences. We are excited to explore the power of digital innovation and its role in shaping the fashion and creative industry.”

“We are excited to partner with the Arab Fashion Council on this unprecedented project where, together, we will support up-and-coming designers and makers with creative flair.
