Costumes of Saudi Arabia: A Heritage of Fashion by Assouline is a striking visual journey through the Kingdom’s rich cultural identity, told through its traditional garments and rare accessories. Curated by Her Highness Princess Noura bint Faisal Al Saud and Siân Tichař, this extraordinary volume captures the essence of Saudi Arabia’s regional diversity — north, south, east, west, and central — through fashion. From desert tribes to coastal communities, the book reveals how environment, history, and tribal heritage have shaped a national aesthetic. Each ensemble, meticulously photographed by Laziz Hamani, offers a glimpse into a world where clothing is both art and legacy. This is a groundbreaking celebration of Saudi style, which is elegant, meaningful, and deeply rooted in heritage.
