The paper presents an in-depth analysis of Riyadh Fashion Week's contribution to local economic growth and explores the role of global fashion weeks in the global economy.
It highlights how Riyadh Fashion Week reflects the Kingdom's cultural and creative development, marking the beginning of a new era for Saudi creative industries, one driven by cultural confidence and economic ambition, through a dynamic integration of creativity, commerce, and culture aligned with the vision of a thriving creative economy.
The research also examines themes including the economic and cultural value of fashion weeks worldwide, the role of fashion-week events as global economic drivers, and case studies of various brands showcased at Riyadh Fashion Week 2025.
Through publishing this paper, the Fashion Commission continues to provide essential economic data and sector insights into the rapidly evolving fashion industry.
Riyadh Fashion Week targets designers, brands, creative talent, buyers, retailers, sponsors, and partners, serving as a central platform for opportunities across the market. Its rapid expansion across three editions, featuring more than 100 participating brands and attracting approximately 27,000 visitors, has delivered significant value in terms of media presence, relationship building, and business growth for participants.
The participation of major global fashion houses such as Vivienne Westwood and Stella McCartney in the third edition further reflects Riyadh’s growing influence in international luxury circles and its increasing global standing.
