As the world’s spotlight turned to Doha, Esquire inaugurated its latest event series in collaboration with Harvey Nichols.
Esquire Presents… welcomed cultural and fashion gamechangers to Doha Festival City for an evening of exclusive talks, masterclasses, and a showcase of leading luxury collections – including a special in-conversation with cultural visionary and creative force Swizz Beatz.
Exclusively located at Doha Festival City, luxury department store Harvey Nichols once again embarked on a pioneering collaboration with Esquire Qatar to welcome luminaries from across the city’s cultural spectrum.
Dedicated to championing creativity in all its forms, from music and art to philanthropy and education, Swizz has taken an important role in not only celebrating creativity, but funding it, collecting it, and fighting for it.
Through initiatives like The Dean Collection, No Commission, and now The Qatar Airways Creative 100, Swizz joined Esquire’s Qatar Director, Bianca Brigitte Bonomi, to discuss reshaping the creative landscape – creating platforms where artists can thrive independently, retain ownership, and be recognized not as commodities but as cultural leaders.
Elsewhere, Esquire welcomed leading regional fragrance expert and influencer, Sami Slimani; Qatari fashion consultant Style Aura by Nada M; beauty and grooming pro Chirine Chamakh, and the co-founders behind cult streetwear brand UKIYO – Qatari sports’ figures Ahmed Al Meghassib, Abdullah Abdulsalam and Hussain Ali Bahzad, who discussed the intersection of fashion and sport with Esquire’s Nasser al Ansari.
Other guests included leading Qatari and regional emerging and established creative talents.
