Forbes Middle East - English|July 2024
The Middle East is well known for its love of luxury fashion and design, and while the region is a big market for designers from around the world, its homegrown talent is also stepping up and being recognized on the global runway.
THE MIDDLE EAST'S FASHION 50

Several of the region's designers are showcasing their talents at global fashion events, such as Paris Fashion Week, where Elie Saab, Tony Ward, and Rami AI Ali are among those showing their collections. Dubai Fashion Week has also become an important stop on the global calendar, joining Paris, New York, London, and Milan.

For the first time, we reveal "The Middle East's Fashion Innovators," a list of 40 fashion designers who have elevated the region's presence in the global industry. These designers have become internationally acclaimed names, reaching the most prestigious red carpets. Special attention was given to those who celebrate Arab heritage and culture, and those who champion slow fashion and upcycling techniques.

Lebanese designers dominate, with 22 entries, followed by Egyptians with six entries, and Saudis with three. Lebanon and the U.A.E. are home to the most fashion brands, with 15 and 14 houses in each country, respectively.

We also present "5 Middle East Stylists Making Waves" and "5 Fashion Business Leaders" who are supporting the industry and its emerging talents.
