Following it’s successful debut on our style calendar’s last year, Arab Fashion Week is back.
The region’s second edition of Arab Fashion Week will run from March 16 to 19, 2016, showcasing fall/winter 2016 Ready Couture collections. The fashion week is to follow on from the international fashion weeks which end in Paris on March 9.
Not familiar with the term Ready Couture? It is a phrase coined by Arab Fashion Week to describe high-quality fashion that is sold through shops rather than made-to-order for an individual customer.
