Million-Riyal Dress unveiled: Saudi designer makes outfit using SR500 currency notes

A well known Saudi fashion designer used SR one million to make a unique dress which she says is intended to mark the Gulf country’s national day and is not for sale.

Rania Gamrawi said she had finished the dress using SR500 notes and crystal pieces in three weeks, adding that she had also designed another dress using “garbage bags.”

“The two dresses are completely contradictive as the first one cost SRone million…the second one is of course very cheap as it included only garbage bags,” she said, quoted by the Saudi Arabic language magazine Hiya (She).

“I was asked to design a unique dress to mark the national day and I thought of an innovative piece away from the traditional dresses..this money dress cost around SRone million and it will be on show not for sale” she said.
