Dolce & Gabbana Launch Hijab And Abaya Range For Muslim Women

Dolce & Gabbana Has Launched a Line of Absolutely Beautiful Hijabs and Abayas

The excitement has generated headlines including Mashable ^[1]'s "Dolce & Gabbana Hijab Collection Is a Game-Changer", while The Cut ^[2] explains "Why Dolce & Gabbana's Hijab and Abaya Line Is So Important". Dolce's collection is made using sheer georgette and satin weave charmeuse fabrics.

ITALIAN label Dolce & Gabbana has unveiled its new collection of hijabs and abayas catering to Muslim women for the first time. Stefano had said in an interview with The National ^[3] at the couture extravaganza in Italy past year.

Dolce & Gabbana has received mixed reviews from social media followers as some are calling it a smart move while others say it's 'ridiculous and bad'.

No information has been released as yet on how much the pieces will cost or what regions they will be available in.

The well-heeled women from the Middle East now have an opportunity to flaunt the luxury label's designs without topping them with their not-so-high-branded abayas. The trademark Dolce & Gabbana bling is not forgotten with oversized jewellery and opulent sunglasses accessorizing the looks ^[4].

In recent years, brands such as DKNY ^[5], Oscar de la Renta, Tommy Hilfiger ^[6], Mango and Monique Lhuillier have produced one-off collections featuring flowing gowns and wide-leg pants, often sold around Ramadan.

According to Fortune, Pew Research ^[7] also predicted that the number of Muslims in the world will equal that of Christians by 2050, and will pack impressive purchasing power. Online retailer Net-A-Porter, for instance, offers a "Ramadan Edit ^[8]" of gifts tailored for the Muslim holy month. H&M even featured model Mariah Idrissi wearing a hijab in one of their campaigns ^[9] this past fall.
