Bazaar Arabia Spotlights The Notable Brands And Signature Looks From Riyadh Fashion Week 2025.
Waad Aloqaili
Waad Aloqaili presented a couture line that combined structure and softness, featuring structured gowns and floating capes embellished with beading and embroidery in subtle shades of lilac, ivory, and champagne. Seashell-inspired motifs in sequins and crystals contributed to that aesthetic harmony and texture, the symmetrical detailing accumulating a discreet shine.
Atelier Hekayat
Bedrock was transformed by Atelier Hekayat into an extravagant stage on the opening night of Riyadh Fashion Week 2025. Inspired by a range of theatrical references, the offering played with contrast and character via a bold black-and-white palette. Sculpted tailoring was balanced by A-line trains and loose capes, in a game of shapes versus movement. The playful, unexpected accessories served as delightful distractions from the formality with a side of surreal charm, deepening and enlivening the sophisticated tale. This was not fashion intended to wow; it was nothing if not introspective — the poetic rumination on contrast, identity and presence.
Rebirth
The enthusiasm of the evening was also provided by contemporary brand Rebirth, which injected a gypsy-bohemian insouciance onto the catwalk, and seems destined to capture nostalgic yet non-mawkish hearts. Flowing dresses, tailored pants and draped gowns floated with natural ease, augmented by elaborate fringe, plaits and hand-wrought flourishes that glorified the beauty of the handmade. Its palette was rooted in soft, natural shades—sand, olive, rust and taupe—offset by ivory and dark chocolate. As with all things Celia pulled together, there was a carefree texture and shape that imbued elegant but effortless femininity into asymmetrical cuts and mixed up silhouettes.
Razan Alazzouni
Razan Alazzouni presented an ethereal collection that appeared to glide down the runway. Celebrated for a romantic aesthetic, Alazzouni worked the monochrome look by incorporating delicate tulles and exquisite hand-beading. Her gowns sparkled like drops of dew in the morning — tender yet bold. Her designs became part of Riyadh’s skyline as the show’s stunning finale was projected onto the iconic Mamlaka Tower — marrying fashion to city silhouette.
Abadia
Abadia presented a range playing on soft volume and subtle layering. There were wide-leg pants that would make crimean palazzo loyalists feel at home, this time looking iconoclastic in spread-collared coats and tunics or loosely draped blouses, all in a rusty fall-friendly palette of brown and cream with gold accessories, pastel hints and burgundy wine splashes. Plush silks, velvets and wools became loose shapes that worked a join between classic roots and modern tailoring.
Vivienne Westwood
At Riyadh Fashion Week 2025, Vivienne Westwood’s first salon show in the region, set up with Art of Heritage, was a highlight of the week. This special capsule collection showcased beautiful hand-crafted gowns made by Saudi artisans, that combines Westwood’s rebellious spirit with the artisanal nature of local customs. The garments juxtaposed flowing silk, structured corsetry and opulent metallic threadwork to establish an austere conversation between a cultural past and future shock.
Leem
Leem graced the Riyadh Fashion Week 2025 with delicate poise, reinventing contemporary modesty for this generation through loose silhouettes and considered design. The line struck a chord between deep colours and delicate metallic elements, with designs rich in golden and silver finishes, creating stunning pieces that connect with the changing style of Saudi women. There was a refined, understated sophistication in the mix that combined comfort with luxury in a clean take on modern glamour.
