at the Doha Exhibition and Conference Centre (DECC), features more than 500

As the Official Airline Partner of the DJWE, Qatar Airways is
thrilled to have flown in Chinese jewellery designer Beau Han Xu and fashion
designer Grace Chen to Doha to provide a glittering touch to the Doha Jewellery
& Watches Exhibition 2019, featuring some of the world's finest gemstones,
jewellery collections and watches.

Qatar Airways also invited a host of other international
celebrities and style influencers to the event, including Indian actress and
Bollywood superstar Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar
Al Baker, said: "Qatar Airways is delighted to welcome the opening day of the
Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition. This much-anticipated event offers
visitors the opportunity to experience the quality and craftsmanship of some of
the world's finest gemstones and jewellery collections. It is also is the
perfect showcase for our patented Business Class seat, Qsuite -- a product we
believe has truly revolutionised the concept of luxury in the skies. We invite
all guests to experience our unique in-flight experience right here at the
show."

Beau
Han Xu is an internationally-renowned artist, gemologist and award-winning
jewelry designer whose work fuses the magical and futuristic. He previously collaborated
with Swarovski to create the innovative Beau Cut� Gemstone, and created
innovative luxury lifestyle designs in partnership with Rolls-Royce, Sunseeker
super yacht, leading international hotel groups and other luxury brands. His private
clients include members of royal families, celebrities, and UHNIWS.�

Regarded
as one of China's most influential fashion innovators, Grace Chen has been
hailed as "the Power Dresser of China" by the South China Morning Post and
"China's Most Sought-After Couturier" by the Hollywood Reporter.� Her unique designs draw out the beauty in
every woman by combining sophistication, elegance and modern aesthetics,
resulting in a textural sculpture that appeals to the most stylish and iconic
women in the world.

As
the first mainland Chinese alumni of New York's Fashion Institute of
Technology, she was a 'designer to the
stars' in New York and Hollywood before
setting up her own label in China in 2009. Her famous clients include Oprah Winfrey,
Academy Award winner Helen Mirren, leading Chinese actresses Liu Xiaoqing, Li
Bing Bing, Xu Qing and Taiwanese actress Lin Chi-Ling.

In tandem with the exhibition, Grace and Beau are presenting
an exclusive fashion show for leading social media fashion and jewellery
influencers aboard the carrier's Qatar Executive Jet (QE) on Thursday 21
February 2019.

The event showcases both the sophistication of Chinese design
and Qatar Airways' prestigious Gulfstream G650ER jet for the global travelling
elite, the fastest and most coveted ultra-long-range business jet in the world.
With phenomenal range capability to fly non-stop from the Middle East to North
America, or from Asia to Africa, it perfectly suits those flying halfway around
the globe -- in unparalleled passenger comfort with industry-leading cabin
technology.

At the private fashion show aboard, Grace and Beau will
showcase eight exquisite designs from their collections. Grace Chen describes
her inspiration as "stories of the woman, how she truly feels about herself,
and how she sees the world". She added: "My design always reflects a woman's
heart. I think all of the women desire the same things: Love and Respect, no
matter who they are, or where they come from. I like to use fashion to help
people find the best of themselves, and pursue the best of what they can reach
in their lives. There are a lot of Chinese elements in my design, but these are
very subtle and fundamental, seamlessly reflected in the rather modern and
sophisticated Grace Chen style."

Beau Han Xu is inspired by "nature and the ethereal". His
creations freeze inspirational moments that fuse magical and futuristic
material and techniques in time...a raindrop's splash, swimming diamonds, and the
subtleties of light playing on light.

Visitors to the DJWE will also have the opportunity to
experience Qatar Airways' award-winning Business Class seat, Qsuite, which is
on display at the show. Qsuite features the industry's first-ever double bed in
Business Class, as well as adjustable panels and movable TV monitors that

served by Qatar Airways -- including direct connections to Doha and onwards to
