The Saudi capital is gearing up for an eagerly anticipated event by fashion enthusiasts from around the globe, the third edition of Riyadh Fashion Week, taking place from October 16 to 21, 2025. The event will offer six vibrant days that seamlessly blend local creativity with a global presence.

What began years ago as a standout experiment has now evolved into a significant platform in the international fashion scene. This year, Riyadh Fashion Week takes a major step forward by opening its doors to international brands for the first time, alongside the country’s top Saudi designers, who continue to present collections that combine rich heritage with contemporary vision.

The program is packed and diverse, featuring over 25 fashion shows, 10 designer presentations, a curated exhibition, and immersive activations across the city, turning Riyadh into a hub of innovation and fashion experiences. Yet, what truly distinguishes this edition is not just the numbers, but the spirit it carries, a spirit of openness and cultural exchange, where global buyers, media, and industry leaders meet local designers in one dynamic space.

Commenting on this vision, Burak Cakmak, CEO of the Saudi Fashion Authority, said:

"Riyadh Fashion Week is no longer just a platform for shows; it is a gateway to understanding the future of the fashion industry in the Kingdom. It is a space where local creativity intersects with a global presence, revealing a new identity for Saudi Arabia in the fashion world."

This approach reflects the Kingdom’s position as one of the fastest growing fashion markets in the world, making Riyadh Fashion Week much more than an annual event. It is an open dialogue between culture, creativity, and innovation, charting the path for a new generation of designers and positioning Riyadh as a future capital of global fashion.
