Swimsuits on the runway in Saudi Arabia at Red Sea Fashion Week, fast food real talk and more...
Episode 10
Saturday, 18 May, 2024
Lucien and Hanaa kick off Episode 9 spending probably too much time discussing and debating Chick Fil-A and fast food preferences as Hanaa wraps up her week in LA, where she is traveling to interview Saudi Arabia's brightest youth at the Regeneron event in California. Then, Hanaa's Deep Dive topic this week is the Red Sea Fashion Week (RSFW) in Saudi Arabia which concluded this week with "an enchanting display of couture" by the visionary local designer, Tima Abid. The show was considered historic as models displayed swimsuits along Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coast, known for its stunning blue waters and white sand beaches. The three-day event commenced with an opening show, followed by two days of runway shows and activations, featuring luxury fashion, jewellery, Ready-to-Wear, and Resort Wear collections from both Saudi and international designers. That discussion leads to another on Saudi fashion, what to wear in Saudi Arabia for both men and women, how fashion is changing and the unique style of the Kingdom. The hosts wrap up the program discussing the latest news, including new rules on book sales in Saudi Arabia, British Airways' new route, AlShehana AlAzzaz, an US-Saudi energy cooperation roadmap and much more.
