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.

Fashion Commission Launches 'Traditional Handcrafts Revival in Saudi Fashion' Competition

Saudi Arabia’s Fashion Commission launched on Tuesday the “Traditional Handcrafts Revival in Saudi Fashion” competition to promote traditional Saudi attire and emphasize Saudi cultural heritage.

The competition, launched in alignment with the Ministry of Culture’s Year of Handicrafts 2025, aims to boost and preserve Saudi cultural identity, while fostering local talent in the realm of creative design.

The competition will equip participants to acquire advanced knowledge about traditional fashion design and Saudi handcrafts, bolstering technical and creative design skills and gaining a deeper understanding of Saudi heritage and architecture.

The winning design will be announced on February 16 and displayed at the Fashion Commission’s exhibition at the Saudi Cup 2025 in celebration of Saudi Founding Day.

Participants will attend a five-day workshop led by expert professionals, with the workshops covering four key areas: traditional fashion design, Saudi heritage and architecture, fashion handcrafts, and creative fashion skills.

Participants are invited to create distinctive fashion pieces that incorporate elements and characteristics reflective of local traditions and design artistry in the Saudi culture.

Following the creative process, participants will submit their creations to be assessed by a specialized panel of experts selected by the Royal Institute of Traditional Arts (Wrth).

The Traditional Handcrafts Revival in Saudi Fashion competition seeks to enhance awareness of traditional handcrafts in the Kingdom, preserve Saudi cultural identity, and develop local talent in the field of creative design by providing training and guidance opportunities to participants throughout the whole duration of the competition.
