Bold, unique and experimental: OTKUTYR Fashion House prides itself for being the first Saudi fashion house in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Founded by Razan Mussallam in 2011, OTKUTYR has cemented itself as a high-end brand, and as a hub for local and international brands and artists. Creating brands such as Turki Jadallah, creatively directing and producing for Alaa Hashim, to name a few. Renowned for its slow fashion ethos, and no waste policy; OTKUTYR was born out of a simple desire by its founder. To showcase the creativity and high quality of Saudi designers and local production on a regional and international scale.
