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.

Christian Dior designer Maria Grazia Chiuri showed playful, sport-themed fashion for the LVMH-owned label's spring-summer 2025 ready-to-wear collection on Tuesday to a front row of celebrities and France's first lady Brigitte Macron.

Models marched down a long, straight runway parading jersey dresses, asymmetric bodysuits and black trousers with white racing stripes running along the legs. Completing the looks were tall gladiator shoes -- including sneakers -- laced up to the top, while accessories included large pouches worn across the back.

Artist SAGG Napoli kicked off the show, entering a narrow corridor in the center of the catwalk, carrying an archery set. After stretching her arms and neck, she stroked her long braid then grabbed an arrow from her belt and fired it.

"May the building of a strong mind and a strong body be the greatest work I have ever made," was one of the quotes splashed on the set of the venue, a temporary tent in the Rodin Museum garden.

Paris Fashion Week, which features some of the biggest labels including Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Hermes and Kering-owned Saint Laurent, follows industry shows in New York, London and Milan earlier this month. It wraps up on Oct. 1.
