Saudi Fashion Commission to Host Spring-Summer 2024 Trend Open Talk

Saudi Fashion Commission to Host Spring-Summer 2024 Trend Open Talk

Saudi Arabia’s Fashion Commission will hold an open talk on Thursday to explore the latest trends for Spring-Summer 2024. The virtual discussion will cover the most prominent fashion trends of the season, including the colors of SS24 and how to incorporate them into daily fashion, as well as key trends such as flowing dresses, patterned fabrics, and garments decorated with embroidery.

The meeting will also address accessories and fabrics for summer and spring 2024, providing insights on how to choose the ideal fashion for hot weather.

Joining the talk will be designer Tima Abed, renowned for her creations in high fashion and timeless elegance on the catwalks and red carpets. Her designs have been worn by many local and international stars, such as Georgina Rodriguez. Abed's work is characterized by a sense of drama, blending heritage elements with modern touches to produce unique fashion pieces.

Also participating will be designer Youssef bin Afesh, the creative mind behind the brand JUB. He has gained fame in men's fashion in Saudi Arabia and recently launched his latest collection for spring and summer 2024, inspired by Art Deco, offering a fresh perspective on men's fashion.

Designer Sarah Al-Twaim will also join the meeting to share her experience. She began her journey in ready-to-wear fashion in 2014, focusing on bridal fashion and evening dresses. Her seasonal collections are inspired by elements of nature, blending natural inspiration with a sophisticated aesthetic.

This talk is part of the Fashion Commission's ongoing series of open meetings, designed to connect with the Kingdom's fashion community. By showcasing the commission's initiatives and fostering dialogue, it aims to empower Saudi talent and propel the fashion sector forward.

Naomi Campbell brings her stylish looks and runway walk to London's V&A this week in a new exhibition that the museum says is the first of its kind dedicated to a model.

"Naomi: In Fashion" looks at the career of one of fashion's most recognizable faces through key looks she has modelled as well as her influence and activism.

The exhibition, which opens to the public on Saturday, features glamorous frocks, towering heels, as well as a display of Campbell's fashion photos and magazine covers, curated by former British Vogue editor Edward Enninful.

"There's been so many exhibitions about fashion designers and fashion photographers but the model is often left out of the story," Sonnet Stanfill, senior curator of fashion at the V&A, told Reuters on Wednesday.

"And Naomi Campbell's remarkable 40-year career is really... proving that she's an exemplar in the field, because not only is she working with the best designers and photographers, magazines in the industry, but also she uses her platform to spotlight the careers of emerging creatives as well."

Campbell, 54, began her career as a teenager and has modelled for fashion heavyweights like Versace, Chanel, Prada, and Dolce & Gabbana, among many others. She has also championed African designers.

She was the first Black model to appear on the covers of French Vogue and Time magazine and was also the first Black model on the cover of American Vogue's key September issue.

Outfits on display include a mix of famous fashion names such as the late Gianni Versace and Azzedine Alaïa as well as African designers including Kenneth Ize and Thebe Magugu.

The sparkling Dolce & Gabbana dress Naomi Campbell wore on her last day of community service at a New York garbage depot - after pleading guilty to reckless assault for throwing a phone at her housekeeper during a dispute over a pair of jeans - as well as the blue platform shoes in which she fell on the catwalk at Vivienne Westwood's Autumn-Winter 1993 show also feature.

The exhibition, which runs until April 6, 2025, includes written and audio commentary from Campbell reminiscing over key moments of her career, as well as a makeshift catwalk for those wanting to imitate her runway walk.
