The inaugural Arab Fashion Week Riyadh will now take place from April 10 to 14.

“Since the initial announcement made in February, Arab Fashion Week Riyadh has garnered significant interest from International guests wishing to attend. Given this important historical moment for the Kingdom, the AFC together with the GEA and the participating designers have collectively taken the steps to postpone the dates in order to be able to welcome guests from all over the world, which we are only able to do by taking some additional time,” said Layla Issa Abuzaid, Vice Chairman and Executive Director for Saudi Arabia at The Arab Fashion Council.

The event was supposed to be held from March 26 to 31 at the Ritz-Carlton, Riyadh. The lineup of international designers includes Roberto Cavalli and Jean Paul Gaultier.
