RIYADH - The Fashion Commission’s annual event, Fashion Futures, is returning on 17-19 November, with the goal of uniting those across the global fashion community with a focus on Saudi fashion.

The event will bring together a dazzling lineup of highly respected speakers, industry influencers, retail activations and pop-up events around Riyadh.

Held at the City Hub in Mohammed Bin Salman Nonprofit City, Riyadh, leading figures from the fashion world will discuss the industry’s most important issues in a packed program of masterclasses, panel discussions, networking and Q&A sessions. Local Saudi brands will exhibit and sell products, joined by ongoing entertainment including a closing street party.

Four main themes are set to guide the event’s content: sustainability, entrepreneurship, diversity and culture, and innovation.

Fashion Futures is a platform for learning, discussion and global exchange, with speakers and partners.
