Abadia and The Dropped Collection, both rooted in Saudi Arabia, have been supported for the past two years by “Saudi 100 Brands”, a long term strategic initiative of the Saudi Fashion Commission aimed at supporting generations of Saudi Fashion Brands and contributing to the development of a Sustainable local Fashion industry.
The initiative used the exposure that Paris Fashion Weeks offer to introduce women designers to international press and buyers.
