Emirates Woman Awards 2021
This year has marked an incredibly successful year for Emirates Woman.
Thinking globally and supporting locally throughout the GCC has built a strong platform for us to champion the incredible women we celebrate both in print and across digital.
In 2021, we’ve championed some incredible women including Her Highness Sheikha Sana Al Maktoum, Mayassa Al-Tajir, Minwa Al Hamed, Melika Yazdjeri and more. All of this, and more, has been done in partnership with prestigious brands including NET-A-PORTER, Saint Laurent, Hermes, Fendi, Bottega Veneta, Isabel Marrant, Hourglass Cosmetics and more.
We have also continued to foster and support emerging talent.
To celebrate the close 2021, we would love to hear which cover has been your favourie and why.
We look forward to seeing you in 2022!
