AEFW (Asian European Fashion Week) – Official National Director and Sponsor of Miss World Morocco 2023
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.

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

His work was not just logistical; it was deeply personal & rooted in a belief that Moroccan women deserve global recognition.
