Saudi Arabia hosts first-ever swimsuit model's fashion show

Saudi Arabia, earlier known as a strictly conservative kingdom, held its first ever fashion show featuring swimsuit models on Friday, May 17. The show featured the work of Moroccan designer Yasmina Qanzal.

The show mostly included one-piece suits in beige, red, and blue



shades. AFP reported that many models had exposed shoulders, and some displayed partially visible midriffs.

“When we came here, we understood that a swimsuit fashion show in Saudi Arabia is a historic moment because it is the first time to have such an event,” Qanzal told AFP
