After the huge success of El-Gouna Film Festival (GFF), we are so excited to see what the Cairo International Film Festival (CIFF) has to offer. We were captivated by the amount of beautiful dresses on display at the ritzy festival, and couldn’t be more proud when we found out that most, if not all, of that glitz and glam is courtesy of Egypt’s very own local fashion gurus.
