We think this is very good news.  Fashion is a place that needs to improve their environmental performance.  Getting a infrastructure together to do that is a great first step--for any industry, in any part of the world.  Good work:

The Arab Fashion Council (AFC), the world’s largest non-profit fashion council representing the 22 Arabic countries members of the Arab League announces that Riyadh will host the first official fashion week to take place in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
