Qatar is getting ready to welcome one of the world’s biggest sneaker and streetwear events as Sneaker Con Doha makes its debut from May 29 to 31, 2026 at Hall 1 of the the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center (DECC).

We sat down with Bessan Ismail to talk about personal style, fashion during Eid, the creative process behind the collection and the pieces she sees herself wearing.
