A country director Layla Issa Abuzaid said, “The council will open the doors to the foreign investment flow into the country.”
“Fashion has always been important to Arabs and our designers are definitely benefiting from the beginning of a proper fashion infrastructure,” said Mariam Mossalli (a well-known Saudi fashion editor and founder of luxury consulting firm Niche Arabia), “We are seeing the creative sector in Saudi grow exponentially.”
She added, “With a population that has 70 percent under the age of thirty, we are about to see an influx of new careers, and most importantly new creative industries.”
