What made the experience even more meaningful was knowing that 20% of the proceeds from the artwork would go to support Dubai Cares’ inclusive education initiatives. The piece will remain on display until the end of Ramadan, offering a chance to take in its beauty while contributing to a great cause.
Meanwhile, in Riyadh, the celebration took on an air of regal splendor. At Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh at Kingdom Centre, the skyline’s most coveted address, Saudi heritage and contemporary design converged in a dazzling four-day affair. Here, Art of Heritage and Dar Al Hanouf, the demi-couture brand staged an immersive ode to Saudi craftsmanship, unveiling a Ramadan collection in the palatial Kingdom Suite—perched on the 48th and 49th floors, commanding a view as sweeping as the cultural legacy it honored.
Timed to also coincide with International Women’s Day, the event was an invitation-only spectacle, drawing an elite coterie of designers, editors, and tastemakers. A historic first: the debut collaboration between Art of Heritage and Alhanouf Mazen, the visionary creative director of Dar Al Hanouf. Her 23-piece collection – diaphanous silk chiffons, delicate lace, silhouettes that whispered stories of heritage while nodding boldly to the future – marked a defining moment in Saudi fashion.
Beyond the glamour, there was a deeper resonance. A portion of proceeds from the collection would support community initiatives, reinforcing Art of Heritage’s commitment to cultural preservation with tangible impact. The Kingdom Suite, with its two-story grandeur, proved the ultimate stage for a night that wasn’t just about fashion, but about legacy, storytelling, and the evolving definition of luxury.
For those fortunate enough to witness these moments, it was clear: Four Seasons has once again rewritten the playbook on hospitality. This wasn’t just about couture; it was about culture, community, and the power of storytelling through design.
