Saudi 100 Brands joins forces with Tranoï Showcase
Once again this season, the Saudi brands from Saudi 100 Brands are arriving in Paris. On the occasion of Men's Fashion Week, the spring/summer 2026 collections of eleven Saudi designers will be presented by Tranoï Showcase, the personalized showroom module inaugurated by Tranoï last January. The presentation will take place on the fifth floor of La Samaritaine, from June 24 to 27, accessible via registration.
Tranoï, in collaboration with the Saudi Fashion Commission, is providing the selected labels with a 480 m² space at 11 rue de la Monnaie, in the 1st arrondissement of Paris. Among the eleven brands, 1886, Awaken, Hajruss, Eleven, Mirai and RBA offer mixed and even unisex fashion.
International and local influences
1886's products are inspired by streetwear and even sportswear, as an echo of American fashion, and include a line of skiwear, a watch designed with Russian brand Raketa Watches, and both casual and chic looks.
The Awaken brand, whose slogan is "Open your eyes", offers screen-printed shirts and sweaters, ensembles of leather, tapered jeans and quilted black fabric. These garments are used by the brand to convey progressive messages, in line with its motto. Hajruss is more inclined towards a formal men's wardrobe, revisiting suits and jackets, both in terms of cut and the materials used, such as fur and wool.
Focusing on a more streetwear and contemporary style, Eleven offers hats, caps, quilted down jackets and printed t-shirts. Mirai (meaning "future" in Japanese) is inspired by Japanese fashion and blends it with the Saudi roots of its two designers. Last but not least, RBA New York (also present at Galeries Lafayette in Dubai) is largely inspired by regional fashion, with light, long pieces in crinkled cotton.
A diversified offering for women
At the same time, the Tranoï Showcase will be presenting womenswear labels Razan Alazzouni, Rebirth, Reem Alkanhal, Waad Aloqaili and Yasmina Q. Fans of embroidery can turn to Razan Alazzouni, who makes hand-embroidered dresses, skirts and tops. The brand also offers kaftans in a variety of shapes and collars, for women and children alike. The Rebirth label focuses primarily on beachwear, not swimwear but lightweight beachwear with loose threads and strips of fabric. With this offering, the brand was able to parade at the Red Sea Fashion Week (Saudi Arabia) in May 2024.
Reem Alkanhal's wardrobe is timeless, often drawing on the traditional length of regional garments. Her bold coats, pants, shorts, skirts and dresses are made from brocade or silk taffeta, cotton or polyester. For its part, Waad Aloqaili is a Saudi fashion house specializing in embroidered dresses in original, distinguished shapes, with biannual collections. The latest label to present its new collection at the Tranoï Showcase is Yasmina Q, whose modest women's wardrobe includes dresses, cardigans, pants and tops in shades of scarlet, off-white and blue.

'Jaws' turns 50: A foundational film that changed cinema
Fifty years ago, on June 20, 1975, a film opened in American theaters that would plunge the country into a kind of masochistic terror. Its title sounded like a scream: Jaws. The film tells the story of a 9-meter great white shark that kills and creates panic in a resort town off the coast of Massachusetts. It was a triumph. Today, it is considered a foundational film. Foundational, first of all, for its creator, Steven Spielberg, then just 27 years old, with the look of a long-haired, bespectacled post-adolescent. He already had two film credits, and during the filming of Jaws, he appeared mischievous and carefree. But that was deceptive. Fighting through a sea of problems, he was struggling with an ocean of problems, among them a ridiculous shark model, but ultimately found redemption. Straddling spectacle and auteur cinema, the film's success opened up a golden path for Spielberg. It was well-deserved. In Jaws, he masterfully filmed the transformation of a beach of carefree vacationers, bathed in pale rose tones, into a scene of collective panic. He turned a shark hunt into a microcosm of human comedy through three men on a boat – the cop (Roy Scheider), the scientist (Richard Dreyfuss) and the killer (Robert Shaw).

Japan's high-tech sunscreens tap into skincare craze
The huge number of people poring over Price's video shows the growing interest in skincare products from Japan, much like the K-beauty phenomenon from South Korea. It includes sun protection, increasingly recognised as a daily essential by influencers who want to shield their skin from ageing and enthuse about the lightweight texture of Japanese brands. Companies that have perfected their secret formulas want to capitalise on booming demand, including by building factories overseas and selling to Japan's record influx of foreign tourists. Price, 32, fell into a "year-long rabbit hole" while making her video, learning about everything from SPF science to cultural attitudes to sun exposure. "I always loved Japanese sunscreen, since I first moved to Japan in 2012," she told AFP at her studio in Tokyo. "I remember trying it for the first time and thinking, 'this is so much better than anything I tried in Australia'," her home country where sun cream felt "thick, sticky, greasy". "I thought that the video would be popular... but I wasn't expecting it to reach as far" as it did, Price said. The habit of regular sunscreen use is spreading, especially among younger generations, said Takuya Wada, who works in marketing for Japanese chemical and cosmetics firm Kao. "There are no borders when it comes to obtaining information on social media, especially Instagram and TikTok," he said, adding that influencer posts have a "very large" impact on global sunscreen sales. 'Beautifully white' The global skincare market was worth more than $115 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow to $194 billion by 2032, according to Fortune Business Insights. A boom in celebrity skincare brands has contributed to the industry's growth -- with A-listers like Kylie Jenner using social media to share their beauty routines, including sun protection, with hundreds of millions of followers. When it comes to sunscreen, country-specific regulations mean no single company dominates the field, as the entry barriers to new markets are higher. Kao's main sunscreen brand Biore UV is ranked 10th worldwide for sales, and second in Asia -- competing with the likes of L'Oreal and Beiersdorf, and Japanese rivals such as Shiseido. The company wants sales from sun protection to reach 35 billion yen ($240 million) in 2027, up 1.6 times from 2023. It plans to boost overseas production by opening three new sunscreen factories, in Indonesia, Brazil and Germany. It is technically difficult to develop formulas that block the rays effectively with a smooth texture, as demanded by Japanese consumers, said Takashi Fukui, research and development director for Kao skincare products. But using scientific know-how to strike this tricky balance is what makes Kao "different from other European or American makers". In Japan, a cultural obsession with light skin dates back to the sixth century and using white powder imported from China later became a status symbol among nobility. Fair skin indicated a life away from outdoor labour and sun exposure, and an old Japanese proverb says "white skin covers the seven flaws". In the 1990s, people began using sunscreen or other cosmetics to avoid tanning -- a trend dubbed "bihaku", or beautifully white. These days, Japanese women use sunscreen as everyday protection against sunspots and ageing, caused when UV rays penetrate into the skin, said Fukui. Winter sun Tans have long been fashionable in Western countries, but awareness of skin cancer risks is rising, making sunscreen an important healthcare product there, Fukui said. One fan of Japanese brands is Thai skincare influencer Suari Tasanakulpan, who calls them "lightweight" compared to "heavy and uncomfortable" Western offerings. "There are always new technologies and innovative textures that are often ahead of other countries," the 40-year-old, who reviews sunscreens on YouTube, told AFP. At an outlet of drugstore chain MatsukiyoCocokara in Tokyo's Shibuya district, around 90 sunscreen products are lined up on the shelves. "Sales of sunscreen is improving year on year," said Takeshi Otsuki, deputy manager of the chain's cosmetic division. "More people are using sunscreen on a daily basis these days, so their needs are becoming more diverse," he said. The number of male customers is also increasing, and Japanese sunscreens are very popular with overseas tourists who buy them in multipacks, Otsuki said. While summer is high season, sunscreen is popular year-round, because Japan has a "relatively high number of sunny days in the winter, and the sunlight hours are long". YouTuber Price now uses both Japanese and Australian sunscreen, depending on the occasion. She sees the rise in education about sunscreens worldwide as a win-win situation. It "means you're going to be better protected in general, which is great for everyone", she said.
