NAZZAL STUDIO x JAD MAQ — THE 18 FACES BEHIND AL-NAJAH
This was never just a runway.
Behind Al-Najah | النجاة, presented at 080 Barcelona Fashion Week, stood 18 individuals who carried the emotional core of the project — not simply as models, but as protagonists within a living narrative.
From the very beginning, this casting was conceived as a strategic and human process, developed in close dialogue with ESMA Events .events and the 080 team .
We extend our sincere appreciation for having listened, understood and supported the importance of this vision — and for making it possible at every level.
At HEAD GROUP International Management, we designed and implemented a dedicated framework of interaction and preparation, creating moments of exchange during fittings and backstage sessions.
This generated something rare: a shared emotional language, a collective energy, a real connection between all participants.
Many of them expressed it themselves:
this was not just a show — it was something deeply felt.
This publication is a tribute to each of them.
Not only to their presence on the runway —
but to what happened beyond it:
in the backstage, in the process, in the silence before the light.
Each portrait in this carousel reflects a fragment of that experience.
Each face, a story.
Each gaze, a memory of Al-Najah.
Our recognition and gratitude to all 18 of you. 🙏
