Saudi Arabia is hosting its first ever Riyadh Fashion Week this October with a spectacular lineup of 30 local brands ready to set the runway on fire. The event will take place in the capital city of Riyadh from the 20th to the 23rd of October 2023, uniting the global fashion community.

The announcement for Riyadh Fashion Week was first made by the Saudi Fashion Commission at the Paris Men’s Fashion Week and Couture Week earlier this year in the most fashionable way – a book woven into a dress by Saudi label Atelier Hekayat.

Whether you join us in person or via the livestream, we can’t wait to highlight what Saudi fashion has to offer” he added.

The event is set to commence with a gala dinner, welcoming more than 250 noteworthy people from the fashion industry to witness Saudi Arabia’s rapidly growing fashion community. The event will also showcase the local brand products in a special showroom for the same. To reach a wider audience, the Saudi Fashion Commission will be livestreaming the event.
