From 15 to just one, Najd’s designs wowed judges at last night's finale which was filmed live from Dubai Design District (d3).
It’s been a long road for the contestants of Project Runway Middle East but last night the arduous journey proved worth it for 32-year-old Lebanese designer Alaa Najd. Joining the fashion industry much later then most of his rivals, Najd stole the show with his collection of unique designs in a kaleidoscope of eye-catching colours.
As the winner of the season Najd will not only have one of his winning designs grace the front cover of the January edition of Harper’s Bazaar Arabia with an editorial inside, but will also walk away with just under Dhs185,000 ($50,000 USD) from Maybelline New York to put towards his own fashion show, a one-year contract for his own design space within Dubai and a one-year membership to the Dubai Design & Fashion Council.
