Fashion Futures launches in Riyadh

RIYADH: Fashion Futures kicked off its third edition in Riyadh on Thursday, with a number of companies and experts from across the world participating in the event. The three-day conference aims to unite lovers of clothes, and celebrates the Kingdom’s fashion industry. It also attempts to support emerging creative talents, providing a shop window for 30 designers from the Kingdom — participants in the “Saudi 100 Brands” program — to showcase and sell their collections, the Saudi Press Agency reported. Panel discussions, workshops, networking opportunities and Q&A sessions will be led by a group of international fashion experts. Regional and global figures will discuss key sector issues such as sustainability, entrepreneurship, diversity and culture, and innovation. The event will also review a report from the Fashion Authority, which provides information and statistics on the Kingdom’s industry in an attempt to create a comprehensive data platform.
