Riyadh Fashion Week 2025 proved that the Saudi capital is quickly becoming one of fashion’s most exciting new destinations.
Now in its third edition, Riyadh Fashion Week delivered both spectacle and substance from an opening by Vivienne Westwood to Stella McCartney’s powerful closing call for sustainability, and a lineup of local designers.
This year’s shows underscored Riyadh’s growing ambitions: not only as a stage for Saudi talent, but as a serious contender on the global fashion calendar.
The week unfolded as a vibrant meeting point of tradition and innovation where Bedouin embroidery met cutting-edge silhouettes, and emerging Saudi brands presented collections that felt both rooted in heritage and strikingly contemporary.
