Taking over Riyadh on Wednesday night, 1001 Seasons of Elie Saab was a stunning, star-studded event as Lebanese couturier Elie Saab presented a spectacular fashion show celebrating 45 remarkable years of his eponymous maison.

Held at The Venue during the annual Riyadh Season winter entertainment festival, 1001 Seasons of Elie Saab unveiled a collection of 300 exquisite creations. The Riyadh Season Collection for Fall 2025 was designed exclusively for the event, drawing inspiration from the classic Arab folk tales of One Thousand and One Nights. These tales were reinterpreted through Saab’s vision, blending heritage and modern design seamlessly. The pieces were styled by Carine Roitfeld, founder and editor-in-chief of CR Fashion Book.

Attended by over a thousand guests, the highly anticipated show was graced by high-profile celebrities and some of the biggest names in fashion and entertainment, bringing together global and regional icons such as Celine Dion, Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry, Camila Cabello, Amr Diab and Nancy Ajram.
