00:00O que é que é o fashion, artes e cultura
00:11have convergido em Doha
00:12e é tudo por uma boa causa.
00:15O Frenca Fun Gala é behelto
00:17no Museu da Islamidade
00:18迎endo os celebradores
00:20em honor do antigo Vogue Italia editório
00:22Frenca Sozani.
00:24People all over the world involved with fashion, the arts, culture
00:34The sense of oneness
00:35Qatar, Doha is really showing the world how to use the arts to bring people together
00:41Among those paying tribute, supermodel Giselle Bundchen
00:46Who worked closely with Suzani for years
00:48She was a very soft-spoken lady, but very strong in her Italian
00:53Very Italian and very loving, you know, a very nice person who was very great at what she did
01:00She was someone who supported me when I was young
01:03And she knew how much I loved to be in front of the camera when I was young
01:07And in front of the great photographers
01:10And she made that happen for me
01:12She put me on the cover of Italian Vogue twice
01:15The gala was co-hosted by Vogue's Anna Wintour
01:18Who shared a decades-long friendship with Suzani
01:21She was an extraordinary, fearless, courageous woman
01:24Who took endless risks and really stood up for everything that she believed in
01:31Whether it was climate change or women's rights
01:33After Suzani's passing in 2016 from a rare lung cancer
01:38Her son created the Franco Fund for Preventive Genomics
01:41Partnering with Harvard geneticist Dr. Robert Green
01:45To push DNA-based medical research forward
01:48The Doha Gala raised more than $4 million
01:51We now have some sense of what is going to put you at risk for cancer
01:57Heart disease, some types of autism
02:00A whole range of things
02:02If you have these DNA changes, it's not necessarily that you're going to get the condition
02:06But you have a clue that you're at risk for it
02:09And if you're at risk for it, you can do something to protect yourself
02:14It's something that a lot of scientists know a lot about, but not people
02:19And we want to bring it to people
02:20And that's why fashion and arts in general try and empower people to know more about this
02:27For many here, Suzani was a trailblazer
02:30A champion of diversity, creativity, and emerging talent
02:34Creating opportunities for models of color that would have never graced a cover
02:42And it had such a huge hand in Vogue Black
02:47Often I feel like we establish style but don't get the credit for it
02:54I found her to be so warm and so welcoming
02:57While also being a visionary and edgy and cool but mama
03:02And you know, so she's just had like this dichotomy of this beautiful mix
03:05And she is very missed but will never be gone
03:08This year's gala arrives in Doha through a partnership with M7
03:14Reflecting Qatar's growing role as a hub for creativity, design, and philanthropy
03:19It's really important for us working in the industry
03:23To understand the power of what we're doing
03:26And the idea of we can tell our own stories
03:29And have representation in the global scene
03:33From personal stories to cultural identity
03:38Threads of Impact showcases over 80 designers
03:41Redefining what Arab fashion looks like
03:44Supported by Fashion Trust Arabia
03:47This exhibition is a celebration of culture, storytelling, and style
03:51From across the MENA region
03:53So this exhibition is a retrospect of seven years of Fashion Trust Arabia
04:02Since it launched
04:04And we wanted to present all the winners and the finalists from the past seven years
04:10A lot of the designers are from the region
04:14But we do have some guest countries
04:16The exhibition revolves around seven main themes
04:21So those are the threads that join, that bring together some of the designers
04:25For the first time, M7 is showcasing the work of 100 regional designers under one roof
04:31What was important for us in this exhibition is to present it at a very high standard
04:37So we treated this exhibition like we do any other world-class exhibition
04:42And we wanted people to come and see the talents that we have in the region
04:47A milestone Al-Sulaitis says is essential for elevating emerging talent
04:53And presenting it at a world-class standard
