Dubai, UAE – June 17, 2025 – Under the glittering skyline of Dubai, a new cultural legacy is about to be written. Maria Fusekova, renowned entrepreneur and founder of TRIM Real Estate, is preparing to host a landmark event that will celebrate the cultural richness of Slovakia and the Czech Republic in the heart of the UAE.
On October 11, 2025, the iconic Armani Hotel at Burj Khalifa will set the stage for the first-ever Slovak & Czech Gala Night – a sophisticated evening that merges high fashion, live music, and diplomatic elegance into a vibrant celebration of Central European identity.
At the helm of this cultural milestone is Maria Fusekova herself, stepping beyond her business success to emerge as a dynamic cultural ambassador. “This gala isn’t about glamour for its own sake,” says Maria. “It’s a tribute – to where we come from, and to what we can create when we bring our identity into new spaces.”

An Evening of Culture, Fashion, and Unity
The Slovak & Czech Gala Night promises a thoughtfully curated experience featuring:
- A live performance by Slovak pop icon Dara Rolins
- An exclusive haute couture showcase inspired by the desert, created by top Slovak and Czech designers
- A signature cocktail by globally renowned mixologist Erik Lorincz
- A cinematic fashion-art film installation shot in the Dubai desert by celebrated photographer Lukas Kimlicka
- A guest list featuring figures from diplomacy, fashion, business, and media
This event is more than a cultural gathering—it’s a personal mission for Maria Fusekova. Having built her life and business from the ground up in Dubai, she now channels her success into a celebration of her roots and a platform for cultural exchange.
“Dubai gave me a chance to grow. This is my way of giving something back—not just to this city, but to my own culture, and to the people who carry it proudly abroad,” Maria shares.
A Legacy in the Making
As anticipation grows, the Slovak & Czech Gala Night is already being recognized as more than an event—it’s the beginning of a new tradition. One that honors heritage while embracing modern global ambition.

“We don’t just belong in Dubai’s story—we help write it,” Maria reflects.
If you’re in the UAE this October, don’t miss this extraordinary moment. The Slovak & Czech Gala Night will not just be a glamorous evening—it will be a defining cultural statement, driven by purpose, elegance, and the vision of a woman bridging continents through creativity and community.
