During the Paris event, the first-ever “State of Fashion in the Kingdom” report (which offers a deep dive into the country’s fashion industry and showcases the depth of the number of opportunities in the Kingdom) was also revealed in the form of a book stitched into a dress by Saudi brand Atelier Hekayat.
