Princess Nourah Al Faisal honoured at the National Cultural Awards in Riyadh

Her Royal Highness Princess Nourah bint Mohammed Al Faisal was honoured with the Fashion Award at the National Cultural Awards, in recognition of her impactful contributions to the design and fashion sector in Saudi Arabia. 

The National Cultural Awards, held yesterday under the patronage of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud at the King Fahad Cultural Centre in Riyadh, celebrated outstanding achievements across the Kingdom’s vibrant and rapidly evolving cultural landscape.

Recognised for her remarkable contributions to Saudi Arabia’s fashion and design sector, Princess Nourah has founded the jewellery brand Nuun in Paris. She safeguarded the kingdom’s heritage as CEO of Arts of Heritage and launched Adhlal to support Saudi designers and talents. In 2023, she furthered her creative vision by collaborating with Asprey on five limited-edition handbags inspired by the Kingdom’s rich cultural traditions.
