The Saudi Fashion Commission is set to unveil the second edition of the Saudi Fashion Awards 2025 on May 22, 2025, transforming the Kingdom’s vibrant heart into a global stage for the industry’s brightest stars.

Following its dazzling debut in 2024, this year’s Awards promise to be bigger, bolder, and more boundary-pushing than ever—spotlighting the trailblazers who are redefining Saudi Arabia’s influence on the international fashion and beauty landscape. With an expanded focus on beauty and fresh categories that mirror the industry’s rapid evolution, the event is a testament to the Kingdom’s unstoppable rise as a creative powerhouse.

This year’s must-watch categories include:

– Fashion Stylist of the Year
– Fashion Photographer of the Year
– Menswear & Womenswear Brand of the Year
– Jewelry Brand of the Year
– Model Honorary Award: Model of the Year
– Four international awards honoring design excellence and beauty innovation

“Riyadh is proudly emerging as the capital of fashion, beauty, and the future of the creative industries in the region,” says Burak Çakmak, CEO of the Saudi Fashion Commission. “Its transformation from promise to global presence—on red carpets, runways, and retail spaces—reflects the ingenuity of a new generation redefining fashion standards.”

Launched in 2024, the Saudi Fashion Awards are a cornerstone of the Kingdom’s mission to elevate its presence in the global creative economy. Under the Fashion Commission’s leadership—established in 2020 to nurture homegrown talent—the event champions innovation, sustainability, and craftsmanship while honoring Saudi Arabia’s rich heritage.

In partnership with the Ministry of Culture, the Commission is crafting a dynamic ecosystem where tradition meets avant-garde ambition. And if last year was any indication, 2025 will be a masterclass in how Riyadh does fashion—unapologetically bold, endlessly inspiring, and always ahead of the curve.
