Following the most true Grazia’s DNA, the accent was placed on the voice of women speaking in unison to an international audience and showing them what Qatar has to offer in the worlds of fashion, art, and culture. Winners included Woman of the Year Sheikha Asma Al Thani for becoming the first Qatari to ski to the North Pole; The Ambassador of Italy to the State of Qatar, H.E.
