Oh we’re SO back. Riyadh Fashion Week is making its epic return this October, and it’s about to be bigger and better than ever.
Mark your calendars, because from October 17 to 21, 2024, Saudi Arabia’s fashion capital is turning all the way up for its second edition — and trust, this one’s gonna be next-level.
Hosted by the Saudi Fashion Commission, this year’s event is all about putting Riyadh on the global fashion map, and if last year’s success was any hint, this is an event not to be missed.
Plus, it’s all going to be livestreamed, so no one’s missing out.
So, what’s the tea on RFW 2024?
Expect more of everything. Last year, we had 30 designers spread over 16 shows, but this year? They’re going all in with 28 runway shows, each spotlighting a single designer. That’s more looks, more creativity, and a whole lot more glam from jaw-dropping couture to must-have streetwear.
This season will also showcase Saudi’s rising stars with a showroom full of local brands, proving once again that the Middle East is a fashion force to be reckoned with.
Who’s gonna be on the front row?
Front-row faves like Karen Wazen, Yara Alnamlah, and Lojain Omran brought the glam to Riyadh last season. And, we’re expecting even more A-listers this time around.
Fashion with a Saudi twist
Riyadh Fashion Week is about celebrating Saudi heritage and culture. Expect to see local labels making waves, from streetwear brands redefining modestwear to eveningwear that’s pure royalty. Big names like ASHI Studio, 1886, and Yousef Akbar have already shown how it’s done, and this year’s lineup is sure to keep that momentum going. Stay tuned for updates on the full calendar of shows and events.
With the Saudi fashion scene blowing up internationally – Riyadh Fashion Week is just the start. The city is fast becoming a key player in global fashion, and 2024 is about to take it up a notch.
