The event features 30 designers and 28 runway shows over five days.
Mark your calendars because the fashion extravaganza of the year is almost here. Riyadh Fashion Week is returning for a second edition, and like its predecessor, it’s about to take the Saudi capital by storm.
Hosted by the Saudi Fashion Commission, this four-day event will take place from 17 to 21 October. The venue for Riyadh Fashion Week 2024 is still under wraps, along with the list of exhibitors, but judging by the inaugural edition last year, fashion enthusiasts are in for a treat. RFW will take guests into the soul of Saudi Arabia’s burgeoning fashion scene, promising a fashion event that’s set to create history.
The featured designers this year include 1886, Abadia, Adnan Akbar, Aram, Ashwaq Al Marshad, Atelier Hekayat, Awaken, Dar Alhanouf, Eman Joharjy, Fatima Alabdulqader, Freeminds, Hajruss, Hala Algharbawi, Hindamme, Honayda, House Of Cenmar, Jubb, Kaf By Kaf, Khawla Alaiban, KML, Makram Marzuki, Mazrood, MD29, Mona Alshebil, Noble & Fresh, Nour Aldhahri, Noura Sulaiman, Pavone, Qormuz, Razan Alazzouni, RBA, Tima Abid, Waad Aloqaili and Yahya Albishri.
Just like the fashion weeks in Dubai, Paris, London, and Milan, RFW will roll out the red carpet for some A-list celebrities. We don’t know who’ll be in town this year, but 2023 saw Blake Lively, Naomi Campbell, and Zendaya visit the Saudi capital. Participants will also spot buyers and other bigwigs of the fashion world coming together to celebrate Saudi Arabia’s booming fashion scene during RFW.
Burak Cakmak, CEO of the Saudi Fashion Commission, stated: “Riyadh Fashion Week stands as a landmark event in Saudi Arabia’s cultural and economic evolution. It serves as a premier stage for the exceptional talent and creativity of our designers, bridging local and international fashion communities. This event catalyses economic growth, fosters innovation, and celebrates our rich cultural heritage. By uniting industry professionals from around the world, Riyadh Fashion Week aims to inspire future generations and establish Saudi Arabia as a dynamic force in the global fashion landscape.”
Whether you’re a die-hard fashion fan or just plain curious about the fabulous Saudi fashion scene, RFW 2024 is the place to be. See you there, fashionistas.
