In a unique press event in the region, humanitarian relief supplier NRS Relief and The Dubai College of Fashion & Design (CFD) have collaborated with the International Humanitarian City (IHC) to host a sustainable fashion show to mark this year’s World Refugee Day. The ‘Bag of Hope’ event, which took place on 19 June at the IHC showroom, aimed to raise refugee awareness, promote a sustainable supply chain and create social impact through the power of fashion. The campaign also supports the UAE Year of Tolerance, which embodies the approach adopted by the government to solidify the UAE as the global capital for tolerance through a series of initiatives, projects and dialogues between various cultures and civilizations.
