March 8 marks International Women’s Day, and we are taking a look at just a few of Saudi Arabia’s leading designers at the forefront of the competitive fashion industry.
Nora Al-Shaikh
The Saudi designer launched her eponymous fashion line in 2012, three years after graduating from Riyadh’s Arts and Skills Institute. The Jeddah-based brand has been championed by model Imaan Hammam and singer Fergie.
Arwa Al-Banawi
Designed for the subtle woman, Jeddah-born Al-Banawi’s aesthetic is both classically cool and undoubtedly feminine.
Razan Alazzouni
The designer launched her brand in 2008. With a penchant for silks, free-flowing fabrics and decorous embroidery, Alazzouni’s pieces are a beautiful reflection of the modern-day Arab woman.
Nuun Jewels
Fine jewelry designer Nourah Bint Faisal fuses her Saudi culture and heritage into her striking collections of gem-infused bespoke rings, necklaces, earrings and bracelets.
Honayda Serafi
The designer’s striking gowns and jumpsuits have been sported by actresses Priyanka Chopra and Lupita Nyong’o and country musician Shania Twain, among others.
Nadine Jewellery
The Jeddah-based fine jewelry label was founded by Nadine Attar in 2018. A certified gemologist, her designs have been making waves in the industry, grabbing the attention of actress Zendaya and supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio, to name a few.
