Riyadh Fashion Week showcases emerging and established designers.
Riyadh Fashion Week is strutting into the capital of Saudi Arabia once again. Running from 15 to 20 October 2026, it is now in its fourth edition. The event showcases emerging and established designers from around the world and puts the Kingdom’s fashion scene in the spotlight.
Hosted by the Fashion Commission under the Ministry of Culture, Riyadh Fashion Week 2026 brings together style, innovation and creativity. Not long ago, the idea of a fashion week in the Kingdom would have been unthinkable. Today, the event is a powerful platform that unites diverse, forward-thinking creatives.
Details of this year’s programme are still under wraps. However, the 2025 edition featured more than 25 runway shows, 10 designer presentations, a curated showroom, and immersive activations across the capital. For the first time, the calendar had opened to international brands, underscoring the event’s expanding global reach. Vivienne Westwood and Stella McCartney were two big names who displayed at Riyadh Fashion Week last year. Rising Saudi talent shared the spotlight across couture, eveningwear, womenswear, menswear, and streetwear and more of them are touted to make an appearance this year. Beyond the runway, global buyers, media, and industry leaders will engage with showrooms and special programming designed to spark collaboration, cultural exchange, and new opportunities.
The list of last year’s designers included 1886, Abadia, Adnan Akbar, Aleena, Am*n, Aram, Arwa Albanawi, Ashwaq Almarshad, Atelier Hekayat, Awaken, Cargo, Dananeer, Derza, Eleven, Fatima Alabdulqader, Femi9, Hajruss, Hindamne, House of Cenmar, Ih Nom Un Nit, Leem, Manel, Mihyar, Mirai, Mona Alshebil, Nabila Nazer, Noble & Fresh, Qormuz, RBA, Razan Alazzouni, Realself, Rebirth, Reem Alkanhal, Sadf, Sulitude, SV by Saudia, Tima Abid and Waad Aloqaili.
Recognised as one of the world’s fastest-growing fashion retail markets, Saudi Arabia continues to attract designers, brands, and investors. RFW offers an in-depth look at the Kingdom’s evolving fashion identity while positioning Riyadh as a future global fashion capital.
Just like the fashion weeks in Dubai, Paris, London and Milan, Riyadh Fashion Week will roll out the red carpet for some A-list celebrities. During previous events in Riyadh, celebrity guests included Blake Lively, Naomi Campbell and Zendaya.
