As the color purple spreads across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Vogue Arabia marks the passage in high fashion. Celebrating Saudi Arabia’s natural beauty and the values of renewal and hospitality connected to the use of lavender, Vogue Arabia asks 10 Saudi brands to create 10 dresses worn by 10 supermodels from the Kingdom and beyond. Featured are Amira Zuhair, Candice Swanepoel, Coco Rocha, Taleedah Tamer, Isabeli Fontana, Sara Sampaio, Shasha Luss, Toni Garrn, Sophie Alshehry, and Donna Bahdon in Saudi designs by Honayda, Youssef Akbar, Raghad Alblaihed, Atelier Hekayat, April by Noura, Aram by Arwa Almmari, Mashael Alfaris, and Kaf by Kaf, Loodyana, and Lurline. The new CEO of the cultural organization Art of Heritage, HRH Princess Nourah Alfaisal shares with Vogue Arabia her dynamic plans. A curated Art of Heritage exhibition hosted by Vogue Arabia’s editor-in-chief was on view last month in Riyadh, along with high jewelry from Van Cleef & Arpels. Saudi designer Fawzia Alnafea is featured for her pioneering fashion. She transformed her husband’s garage into a compact workshop where she painted her designs. The Kingdom’s artisanal fashion thrives in a vivid photoshoot and interviews with local designer Raneem Shaban in Jeddah. The marketplace ensures the life of customs and artisanal skills; it represents a resilient way to craft that withstands the test of time, constantly revitalizing itself amid the bustling market.
