HH Princess Noura Bint Faisal Al Saud announced that Saudi Fashion Week will take place from 21st to 25th October, as the Riyadh runways will feature designs from spring/summer 2019 collections from Arab and international labels.
The Saudi Fashion Week will take place in the Al Faisaliah Hotel and Al Faisaliah Tower, in KSA’s capital.
