Beyond the runway, global buyers, media, and industry leaders will engage with showrooms and activations to encourage collaboration, cultural exchange, and unlock 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.

Recognized as one of the world’s fastest growing fashion retail markets, Saudi Arabia is emerging as a destination for designers, brands, and investors. Riyadh Fashion Week offers an in depth look at the Kingdom’s evolving fashion identity while positioning Riyadh as a future global fashion capital.

The event is more than a series of shows, it’s a space where fashion blends with culture, innovation and opportunity. RFW 2025 is set to define new trends and conversations that extend far beyond the catwalk.
