The event showcases emerging and established designers.
Riyadh Fashion Week is strutting into the capital of Saudi Arabia. Running from 16 to 21 October, it is now in its third 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 2025 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.
This year’s programme features more than 25 runway shows, 10 designer presentations, a curated showroom, and immersive activations across the city. For the first time, the calendar opens to international brands, underscoring the event’s expanding global reach. Expect rising Saudi talent to share the spotlight with renowned international names across couture, eveningwear, womenswear, menswear, and streetwear.
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.
“Riyadh Fashion Week has become a gateway for those looking to understand and participate in the future of Saudi Arabia’s fashion industry,” said Burak Cakmak, CEO of the Saudi Fashion Commission. “By welcoming the world to Riyadh, we create a unique platform where international leaders can build meaningful connections with local buyers, media, and consumers. At the same time, the event shines a global spotlight on Saudi talent, whose creativity spans from heritage-rooted craftsmanship to contemporary design, reinforcing the Kingdom’s growing influence on the international fashion landscape.”
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 2025 will roll out the red carpet for some A-list celebrities. In previous events in Riyadh, celebrity guests included Blake Lively, Naomi Campbell and Zendaya.
