S. Arabia to host 1st Arab Fashion Week
(MENAFN) Overturning decades of draconian policies on arts and entertainment, in March, Saudi Arabia will host its first Arab Fashion Week, the Arab Fashion Council announced Monday.
The Dubai-based Arab Fashion Council said on its website that fashion week would be hosted in Riyadh from March 26 to March 31, with a second edition already scheduled for October.
Arab Fashion Week will take place at Riyadh's eco-friendly Apex Centre, a white honeycomb-like venue designed by the late celebrated Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid.
"The first Arab Fashion Week in Riyadh will be more than a world-class event, it is a catalyst through which we believe the fashion sector will lead other economic sectors such as tourism, hospitality, travel, and trade," Princess Noura said in a statement on the council's website.
This comes as part of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman attempts to "civilize" theultra-conservative Muslim country through expanding the private sector and empowering women.
