The manual emphasizes environmentally friendly and ethical production methods, aiming to support industry professionals in maintaining high standards across all aspects of their operations.

The Fashion Exports Guidelines is intended for a broad audience within the fashion industry, including apparel manufacturers, jewelry designers, footwear producers, accessories makers, perfume creators, and other business sectors interested in expanding their export activities.
According to the commission, the manual covers essential information on labeling requirements for exported fashion items. It outlines comprehensive guidelines to ensure that products meet both quality and safety standards. Additionally, the guide provides practical advice on integrating sustainability into production processes. For those navigating different markets, it details country-specific export requirements and offers up-to-date information on regulations and legal requirements in each target market.

The participants' outputs were subject to arbitration by the jury, and the winner was chosen on September 25 at the Creative Residence under the Fashion Commission FCR headquarters. The winning designer receives a training opportunity at the headquarters of Dar Al-Hanouf Fashion in Jeddah, while the top five designers get to participate in an international academic competition by Swarovski called “Interpretation of the Swarovski SS 2025 Inspiration Theme Street Art in a Commercial Ready to Wear Outfit.”
