In 2023, Morocco made its long-awaited return to the Miss World stage after 54 years of absence.

This historic moment was not the result of institutional support or national funding—it was made possible by the vision, sponsorship, and personal commitment of Rex Christy Fernando, a Paris-based fashion entrepreneur and founder of Asian & European Fashion Week (AEFW Paris).

As the Official National Director and Sponsor of Miss World Morocco 2023, Rex hand-selected Sonia Aït Mansour to represent her country.

He provided the resources, mentorship, and international platform that enabled her to shine in Mumbai among global delegates.

Without Rex’s leadership, Morocco would not have been present at Miss World 2023.
