CFE Designers in Doha
March 31, 2011
CFE Designers Mary Katrantzou and Holly Fulton joined the Matches team at La Cigale hotel in Doha for a pop-up shop last week.
The designers presented their spring/summer 2011 collections – and highlights from autumn/winter 2011-11 which were available for pre- order – and Fulton and Katrantzou also designed an exclusive piece for the event.
“It was such an amazing experience and the trunk show event, really opened my eyes to the way women dress in Qatar. I was really impressed by their refined taste and how decisive they are on what they like! -Mary Katrantzou, Vogue.com
