Fashion in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia is a growing market. Increasingly, the country has shown itself to be a rising power that promises strong contributions to the fashion industry. In this panel, Sofia Guellaty, Founder & Editor-in-chief of Mille World moderated the panel bringing three other powerful voices to enrich the discussion. Tania Fares, Co-Founder & Co-Chair of Fashion Trust Arabia; Andrea Wazen, Founder & Creative Director of Andrea Wazen Footwear, and Hassan Pierre, CEO & Co-Founder of MAISON DE MODE. They talked about how Saudi Arabia’s market is growing and how it’s slowly becoming a Fashion Exporter, instituted of just an importer, as historically they were. Shopping locally & responsibly are the watchwords!
