LCF’s Professor Reina Lewis takes Faith & Fashion to Riyadh to discuss the richness of Saudi textile and dress heritage in contemporary fashion and the creative opportunities for British and Saudi brands generated by current approaches to modesty and sustainability. In collaboration with the British Embassy, Riyadh, Generation 2030 and AlManwar, Reina is joined by:
- Shahd AlShehail: co-founder of ethical luxury label Abadia, uniting craft skills with modern style, and co-founder of social enterprise Project JUST working for transparency in fashion supply chains.
- Rae Joseph: vintage expert, luxury consultant, and circular fashion advocate, whose store 1954byRaeJoseph has fostered local appetite for the pre-owned.
- Loai Naseem, co-founder of Lomar, whose sustainably produced menswear, womenswear, and childrenswear combines textile innovation with design to elevate traditional garments for contemporary life.
- Sacha Newall, co-founder of My Wardrobe HQ, reducing fashion waste by providing a circular model for brands to monetise and benefit from previously sold stock.
Join Reina and the panel to hear insights on fashion design, distribution, and consumption in the building of sustainable regional and global fashion practices.
