Returning to the capital for its third edition this winter, Riyadh Fashion Week is set to take place from October 15 - 20.
Riyadh Fashion Week kicks off in line with the begging of Riyadh Season 2025, and the fashion event is slated to cast a fresh spotlight on the capital’s winter calendar. Set against the city’s most iconic venues, this flagship fashion showcase not only launches the season’s festivities but also elevates Saudi designers, offering a dynamic stage to celebrate the Kingdom’s vibrant heritage, creative spirit and forward-thinking innovation.
What can we expect from Riyadh Fashion Week 2025?
Taking place over 6 days from October 15 to 20, Riyadh Fashion Week 2025 is set to be even bigger and more exciting than last year's event. Designers had until July 15 to apply to part of the showcase, and it is expected that the fashion event will present over 30 designers, 28 runway shows, over the course of the days.
This prestigious invite-only event promises an exciting and immersive experience that highlights the forefront of fashion in Saudi Arabia, featuring stunning runway shows and showcasing innovative collections from both established and emerging local designers, reflecting the rich cultural heritage and modern aesthetics of the Kingdom.
This year, the fashion week schedule is set to feature almost 30 local and regional designers. From couture and ready-to-wear, and streetwear, there is set to be a show to suit all stylistic interests.
Why is Riyadh Fashion Week important?
As one of the most anticipated fashion events in the region and the first officially recognised fashion week for the capital, the second edition of Riyadh Fashion Week is important for many reasons.
Not only will it feature runway shows and designer showcases, as the fashion scene in the Kingdom continues to grow, Riyadh Fashion Week plays a vital role in establishing Saudi Arabia as a significant player in the international fashion industry.
This year, the excitement in the industry is palpable as Riyadh Fashion Week has held open castings, inviting local models to apply to walk in the shows. This initiative empowers aspiring talents and brings a new energy to the capital's most anticipated fashion event, allowing the next generation of stars to step into the spotlight and play a part in shaping the future of Saudi fashion.
Alongside offering up-and-coming local and regional designers a more global platform and reach, Riyadh Fashion Week also invites the world to see and embrace the continued influence of Saudi culture and traditional design on modern silhouettes and using popular colour palettes.
