Riyadh Fashion Week 2025 to welcome international brands
For the very first time
Returning for its third edition next month, Riyadh Fashion Week will be strutting down our runways (yes, plural) with a fun twist. For the first time, the calendar is open for international brands. This is everything we know about international brands at Riyadh Fashion Week 2025.
Previously, the event, staged by the Ministry of Culture’s Fashion Commission, featured a host of Saudi Arabia’s up-and-coming and established fashion designers, showcasing haute couture, ready-to-wear, and more in both menswear and womenswear.
Now, international brands are invited to debut their headline-stealing collections in Riyadh too, although the list of designers is yet to be revealed.
Riyadh Fashion Week 2025 is set to take over the city from Thursday October 16 to Tuesday October 21. Set to light up the capital once again with a bold fusion of style, innovation, and creativity. The event will bring together celebrated designers and rising talents from across the fashion world.
According to Arab News, speaking on the announcement, Burak Cakmak, CEO of the Saudi Fashion Commission, said, “By welcoming the world to Riyadh, we create a unique platform where international leaders can build meaningful connections with local buyers, media, and consumers.”
Set to be a powerful platform to showcase diverse, forward-thinking visions, each runway show tells a unique story of artistic expression. This edition promises unforgettable moments that will continue to shape the future of Saudi fashion and redefine the region’s global style narrative.
The shows are usually invite-only. Fashion enthusiasts can visit Riyadh Fashion Week’s website to watch a live stream of the runway shows.
