The Spring/Summer 2012 edition of
Dubai Fashion Week took place October 20th-24th, and as always featured a wide variety of international designers, including abaya brands. These are just a few of my favourite picks from the shows, follow the links to the DFW website to see more:
Abeer Al Suwaidi for
Ush Design added striking elements to her black abayas. The heavy metallics really stand out and give a modern twist to the designs.
British designer
Barjis Chohan for her label
Barjis, showcased dresses and tunics based around the traditional abaya silhouette. The focus appeared to be in the cut and flow of the fabric, with low-key embellishments.
Hend Al Mutawa who designs for the popular label
Nabrman, added colour and stylish cuts to her unique abayas. I'm loving the pleats in the two pictured above.
Part 2 coming soon!
