Riyadh Fashion Week will return for its third edition from October 16 to 21, 2025, bringing six days of creativity, craftsmanship, and international collaboration to the Saudi capital.
Building on the momentum of its first two editions, this year’s program underscores Riyadh’s growing status as one of the world’s most dynamic emerging fashion hubs.
Organised by the Fashion Commission, RFW 2025 promises an ambitious schedule that reflects the Kingdom’s expanding global reach. The event will host more than 25 runway shows and 10 designer presentations, alongside a curated showroom and immersive activations across the city. For the first time, international brands will be included in the calendar, joining Saudi and regional designers on the runway.
The mix of local and global participants highlights Saudi Arabia’s diverse fashion identity, spanning couture, eveningwear, womenswear, menswear, and streetwear. This blend not only celebrates homegrown talent but also positions Riyadh as an international hub for cultural exchange and creativity. Beyond the catwalks, showrooms and networking activations will connect global buyers, media, and industry leaders with Saudi designers, creating new opportunities for collaboration and growth.
“Riyadh Fashion Week has become a gateway for those looking to understand and participate in the future of Saudi Arabia’s fashion industry,” said Burak Cakmak, CEO of the Saudi Fashion Commission. “By welcoming the world to Riyadh, we create a unique platform where international leaders can build meaningful connections with local buyers, media, and consumers. At the same time, the event shines a global spotlight on Saudi talent, whose creativity spans from heritage-rooted craftsmanship to contemporary design, reinforcing the Kingdom’s growing influence on the international fashion landscape.”
Riyadh Fashion Week 2025 aims to provide an in-depth look at this evolving identity, while affirming the city’s ambition to establish itself as a future global fashion capital.
