Abaya Fashion Show in Paris

July 2nd, 2009

Posted by Veronica Valter

Everyone knows that women from Asian countries dress differently from the way we do. They have to wear long, sometimes floor-sweeping, body-covering black robes called abayas to cover their clothing in public.

Nowadays few of them want to wear one and the same design of abaya all the time. To solve the problem a few international designers decided to try themselves in this, earlier unknown for them, sphere of creation.

It was the process of constant learning of Islamic traditions, customs and fashion tendencies. It was not easy. But the result is fantastic. Abayas made by designers were chic and sophisticated, adorned with rhinestones and made of luxury materials. These new styles of abayas were intended for rich Muslim women who wanted to stand out of the crowd and always look fabulous.

The Saks Fifth Avenue Riyadh and Jeddah fashion show was held in George V Hotel in Paris. It was opened by a horsewoman in a flowing, made-to-measure Islamic gown atop a snorting steed rearing on its hind legs. The spectacle was great.

Then followed the show of 22 abayas customized by international designers specially invited for that. Among the attendees were Saudi Arabian royal family, participating designers Felipe Oliveria Baptista, Adam Jones, Anne Valérie Hash and Martine Sitbon.

Designers who used their talents to work on the terrific abayas, which are required in Saudi Arabia, included Christian Dior’s artistic director John Galliano, French luxury labels Nina Ricci and Jean Claude Jitrois and Italian houses Blumarine and Alberta Feretti.

Marc Jacobs Fall-Winter 2009-2010

Marc Jacobs has always been eccentric and extravagant and probably this is just what we all love in him and his fashion creations.

For autumn and winter 2009-2010 he chose neon lights as well as dark hues to show he understands how hard the time is at the moment.

The collection has a clear twist of the 80s with those big shoulders, bright leggings, extravagant makeup and crimpy hair. Something we will never be able to forget.

I was thinking about the good old days in New York,” the designer said, “when getting dressed up was such a joy.”

D&G Fall/Winter 2009-2010

Fairytale goes on with D&G.

When I see these chic dresses I immediately recall my childhood and my mother reading fairytales to me. My imagination pictured queens and princesses wearing the garments pretty similar to the ones we see on models for D&G during Milan Fashion Week.

The only exception is that outfits worn by my imaginary characters were long and covered legs fully. Here the skirts are short but still have something royal in their look.

The collection by D&G has something strongly feminine and luxurious but at the same time seems to be a bit old-fashioned and out-of-time.
