Saudi Arabia’s Fashion Commission signed a memorandum of understanding with adidas to support young Saudi designers and creators, under the "100 Saudi Brands" program, which forms the shared vision of this collaboration, reported the Saudi Press Agency on Thursday.

The MoU comes amid the sector's growth, with the commission's efforts to stimulate innovation, nurture talent, and foster growth in the local fashion industry.

The partnership is built on three pillars:

- Talent Development: Through training programs at adidas targeting talents within the "100 Saudi Brands" network.

- Research and Development: Collaboration between the two sides will launch a comprehensive research project aimed at understanding the evolving needs of Saudi consumers, with a focus on women's sportswear preferences. This will contribute to the "State of Fashion in the Kingdom 2024" report, guiding future adidas collections and contributing to the launch of a joint sportswear and lifestyle collection for 2025.

- Global Partnerships: Collaboration with a select group of Saudi designers. adidas, with the support of the Fashion Commission, will showcase its first official local collaboration during Riyadh Fashion Week 2024, where the Spring/Summer 2025 collection will be presented.

The Fashion Commission plays a key role in supporting the development of local talent and strengthening ties between global brands and the Saudi fashion sector.

Dolce&Gabbana, the Italian luxury fashion brand, opened a new 1,500-square-meter luxury center in Saudi Arabia’s Diriyah, The City of Earth, featuring a boutique and café, DG Caffè. The brand center, one of Dolce&Gabbana’s largest worldwide, seamlessly blends Italian elegance with traditional Najdi architectural heritage, enhancing the vibrant atmosphere of Bujairi Terrace—Diriyah's premier fine dining destination and a centerpiece of Diriyah Company's urban development project.

Dolce&Gabbana collections—including clothing, accessories, fine jewelry, watches, beauty, and home decor--are showcased on bespoke displays framed by a dynamic ceiling system that amplifies the sense of space. The boutique features an exclusive Abaya section, showcasing Dolce&Gabbana's dedication to honoring and celebrating local cultural traditions.

Drawing inspiration from Italy’s rich culinary tradition, DG Caffè at the heart of the boutique features a carefully curated menu tailored to Saudi tastes.

"We are excited to unveil Dolce&Gabbana's new boutique and café that will add an additional touch of luxury to the vibrant setting of Bujairi Terrace, our premier dining and retail destination,” said Diriyah Company group chief executive Jerry Inzerillo.

“As we progress on our journey to create the world’s greatest gathering place and a center point of cultural tourism—one that will feature more than 1,000 retail outlets and dining concepts spanning 566,000 square meters—we invite global business partners to join us on this remarkable journey," Inzerillo said.

Since its opening, Bujairi Terrace and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of At-Turaif have welcomed over 2 million visits, with tourists and locals alike drawn to world-class cultural, dining, and retail experiences in a historic setting.

Diriyah is a city within a city and a premier live-work-play destination that will be home for over 100,000 residents. Under transformation by Diriyah Company, Diriyah is projected to attract 50 million annual visits by 2030, driven by its world-class living, retail, hospitality, and cultural offering that will serve as a benchmark for future retail and lifestyle development.
