Waad Aloqaili
Waad Aloqaili unveiled a couture collection that balanced structure and softness, showcasing sculpted gowns and fluid capes adorned with intricate beadwork and embroidery in delicate tones of lilac, ivory, and champagne. Shell-inspired motifs rendered in sequins and crystals brought a sense of harmony and texture, with symmetrical detailing that shimmered with quiet sophistication.
Atelier Hekayat
Atelier Hekayat brought a sense of spectacle to the opening night of Riyadh Fashion Week, transforming the Bedrock venue into a dramatic stage. Drawing from theatrical influences, the collection explored contrast and character through a striking black-and-white palette. Sharp tailoring met sweeping silhouettes and fluid capes, creating a dynamic interplay between structure and movement. Playful, unexpected accessories disrupted the formality with a touch of surreal charm, adding depth and whimsy to the refined narrative. This was not fashion designed for spectacle, but for introspection — a poetic exploration of contrast, identity, and presence.
Rebirth
Contemporary label Rebirth infused the runway with a carefree, bohemian spirit, presenting a collection that felt both nostalgic and refreshingly modern. Flowing dresses, tailored trousers, and draped gowns moved with effortless grace, enhanced by intricate fringe, braids, and artisanal details that celebrated handcrafted beauty. The palette drew from soft, earthy tones—sand, olive, rust, and taupe—balanced by ivory and rich chocolate hues. Asymmetrical cuts and layered silhouettes added depth and movement, capturing an elegant yet relaxed femininity grounded in freedom and texture.
Razan Alazzouni

As the show’s finale was projected onto the iconic Mamlaka Tower, her designs became part of Riyadh’s skyline, blending fashion seamlessly with the city’s architecture.
