White Milano to welcome Saudi 100 Brands as part of new EXPO program  

DUBAI: White Milano, the international apparel and accessories trade show which famously takes place alongside Milan Fashion Week, will welcome the Saudi 100 Brands project as part of its EXPOWHITE program, taking place from Sept. 22-25.  

In line with its mission to foster a dialogue between the industry and global creative trends, the EXPOWHITE showcase will focus on brands and designers from countries like Saudi Arabia, Armenia, Brazil and South Africa.  

The Saudi 100 Brands project is an initiative by the Saudi Fashion Commission that supports established and emerging design talents from Saudi Arabia, who work across the ready-to-wear, modest, concept, premiere, demi-couture, bridal, bags and jewelry categories. 

The Saudi 100 Brands project showcase will be on display at the Padiglione Visconti.  

A gala event will take place on Sept. 20 and will showcase the Saudi collections across five distinct categories.

Each collection will be presented with its own scenography and choreography, curated with the participation of dancers from the renowned La Scala Theatre.

Meanwhile, this year’s White Milano is expected to bring together over 360 companies and 20,000 fashion industry operators within Milan’s historic Tortona Fashion District, to view the latest SS 2024 collections.

What We Are Buying Today: Snowhite Arabia beauty products

The Saudi beauty market is saturated with shelves lined with creams, serums and promises. If you have entered a local pharmacy recently, you likely already noticed Snowhite Arabia’s products — the distinct pink packaging is hard to miss.

Consider this your sign to try it.

Founded in 2014 by Heba Al-Madani as a home-based workshop, Snowhite Arabia has since evolved into a substantial operation, manufactured at Al-Madani’s factory for Snowhite Est., proudly labeled with the “Saudi Made” stamp.

I started with the hand cream, which the package recommends using twice a day while avoiding direct sun exposure. The formula includes avocado oil, aloe vera juice and mango butter, among other ingredients.

The Snowhite hand cream is moisturizing and fragrant, but without a greasy or overly perfumed aftermath. After a few uses, my dry-prone hands felt noticeably smoother.

I also like how it is vibrantly-colored so I can easily fish it out of my tote bag to reapply when I am out and about.

For the home, I tried the Moroccan soap in the bath. Its dark color, slimy texture and pungent smell were slightly alarming at first. Once worked with a bit of water, it foamed easily, and I learned quickly that a little goes a long way. I now like it.

Snowhite Arabia also offers hair masks and other products, though these are the only ones I have tried so far. I am looking forward to trying the broccoli shampoo next.

For now, the hand cream stands out as the most practical winter companion and my current local favorite.
