16 Saudi Designers Who Took Paris Fashion Week By Storm
As part of an initiative spearheaded by the Saudi Fashion Commission, KSA fashion was celebrated on the global stage
Saudi Arabia is bursting with creativity, art, and culture — and this was especially evident at Paris Fashion Week.
As part of a spectacular three-day showcase in the Fashion Capital of the World — which commenced on February 28 — Saudi 100 Brands spotlighted the extraordinary work of 16 KSA designers, showcasing their unrivaled creativity and talent on the global stage. The pioneering initiative coincided with the women’s segment of Paris Fashion Week and was held at Les Cordeliers in the bustling sixth arrondissement of Paris.
The fashion initiative notably highlighted the finest all-women owned and led brands across the Kingdom, adding a dimension of women empowerment to the already fantastic Saudi mission. It provided an exclusive platform for Saudi fashion trailblazers to express their creative genius alongside their international peers.
From ready-to-wear, eveningwear, and streetwear; to jewellery, accessories, and beauty, the program consisted of a series of fashion shows and celebratory gatherings which united over 100 Saudi brands — representing the cultural richness and eclectic creativity inherent to Saudi fashion and the Kingdom at large.
