“Since the first edition of CFN we have always looked for “out of the box” locations and innovative set ups. Being able to host our event at the amazing Egyptian Air Force Museum made possible through the tireless efforts of Mrs.Zeinab Bashier, founder of the “Benhebek Ya Masr Foundation”, is as much inspiring as challenging. Celebrating “Proudly Made in Egypt” our most talented designers are submerged amidst historic planes, helicopters and a wealth of archive material. Including art and interiors adds a new dimension to our ultimate aim, promoting Egyptian talent. Our many partners and sponsors are vital in injecting more excitement and activities to make this event even more interesting and unique for all our guests that include esteemed government and Air Force officials, diplomats, celebrities and fashion loving socialites.”

“Within the framework of awareness of Egyptian projects and the culture of visiting military museums, the “We Love You Egypt Foundation”, encourages the Egyptian industry under the slogan “Made in Egypt”. This event is where the history of the Egyptian Air Force, Egyptian designers and artists display their designs, paintings and statues made by Egyptian hands. Part of the revenue goes to “Tahia Masr” for the national participation in supporting our country.”
