RIYADH: A look at some of the designers that presented shows at the recently-concluded Riyadh Fashion Week. For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @arabnews.lifestyle Hindamme The Saudi ready-to-wear label, helmed by Mohammed Khoja, presented a collection that, Khoja told Arab News, “really ties in the past, present and future.” Inspiration came from the ancient petroglyphs found around the Kingdom. For the show’s finale, however, the label collaborated with Saudi creative Lina Malaika to create T-shirts worn by Saudi musician Mishaal Tamer and model Taleedah Tamer. “It says ‘Saudi Arabia is the future’ because it is the future — in all fields,” Malaika said. Khoja added: “I truly believe in this message, because the opportunities and what we can achieve are limitless.” Honayda Egyptian actress Nelly Karim walked for Honayda Sanafi’s luxury ready-to-wear brand, sporting a form-fitting black gown with Najdi veil and handcrafted 3D flowers, all inspired by Saudi heritage, according to Sanafi. Adnan Akbar The Jeddah-based label, which bills itself as “the first Saudi fashion house” and has been operating since 1970, showed a collection of typically elegant and sophisticated dresses, including this bridal gown. Tima Abid The Saudi couture designer’s collection was inspired, she told Arab News, by her garden. “People might think it’s a poor garden lacking in color,” she said, “but I see it as very rich because of the care and attention I give it.” That attention was exemplified by the intricate detailing on outfits such as this one. 1886 The Riyadh-based fashion house showed a striking streetwear collection for both men at women on the fifth and final day of Riyadh Fashion Week, one that was, according to the brand, “a fusion of elegance and modernity.” Atelier Hekayat The Jeddah-based label founded by sisters Alia and Abeer Oraif presented a collection they called “Hotel de Hekayat,” which, Alia said, was a story of “the journey of finding love.” Each of the 30 designs on show was supposed to represent a room in the ‘hotel.’ Kaf by Kaf Designer Kawthar Alhoraish’s label presented its Spring/Summer 2025 collection, which Alhoraish titled “Artificial Beauty.” Alongside the human models, Alhoraish also employed this ‘robot model’ to show off one of her designs inspired by nature.
