Culture Ministry to Showcase Saudi Fashion in Venice with Exhibition and Pop-Up Store

The Ministry of Culture will present a Saudi fashion exhibition in Venice, Italy, from September 14 to October 10, as part of its cultural programming at the Abbazia building. The event will spotlight the evolution of Saudi Arabia’s fashion industry, weaving together heritage and modernity through garments, textiles, and accessories that reflect the Kingdom’s regional diversity.
Organized under the “Saudi 100 Brands” initiative by the Fashion Commission, the showcase highlights the creative talent of Saudi designers in both women’s and men’s fashion. Each piece tells a story that merges traditional techniques—such as embroidery and weaving—with modern materials and contemporary silhouettes, offering a fresh global perspective on Saudi fashion.
Designed as an immersive gallery-style experience, the exhibition will feature elevated displays, detailed labels, and digital screens that reveal the inspirations behind the collections. Visitors will be taken on a visual journey that captures the essence of Saudi identity, from timeless traditions to forward-looking trends.
Alongside the exhibition, a Saudi fashion brand will host a pop-up store at Abbazia from September 14 to October 16. Known for fusing cultural heritage with contemporary sportswear, the brand’s collection reflects a distinctive Saudi identity expressed through modern design.

Abbazia has emerged as a dynamic platform for showcasing Saudi creativity and cultural innovation to international audiences, strengthened through partnerships with leading Italian and global institutions.
