The fifth best airline of the world Etihad Airways, the national carrier of the United Arab Emirates have announced that it will sponsor 17 of the WWE/IMG fashion events across the world, starting with the Mercedes –Benz Fashion Week Australia in Sydney starting from May 15- 20.
This will also include high profile events like New York Fashion Week, London, and Milan in 2016.
