The latest edition of
Abu Dhabi Fashion Week took place during March 15th-18th 2008. The show featured a mix of established international brands like Missoni and Emilio Pucci, as well as local designers such as
Aisha Bin Desmal,
Amina Al Jassim and
Rabia Z. These three are the ones that caught my eye in particular. Rabia Zargarpur is the only one with a focus specifically on hijab clothing, and you can see many photos of her collection in my post
here back in June. Al Jassim also showcased her abaya collection during
Sheila and Abaya Fashion 2008 earlier this year. Both her and Bin Desmal have more of a focus on using traditional Arab designs and patterns in their clothing, though a lot of the clothes could still be worn with hijab. You can read more about these designers
here, and these are a few photos from the show:
