There was a fashion showorganized in Jeddah that had unnamed drones that flew clothes to give theeffect of an ongoing ramp walk. The difference was that there were nomodels, in fact there were just clothes hanging from the drones!
Nabil Akbar, one of the organizers of the Fashion House event feels proudthat the show was the first of this kind in a Persian Gulf nation. He saidthat it “is suitable for the month of Ramadan”. It took two weeks toprepare for the final event. “Everything involved innovation,” he added.
