This season, DKNY launched its first Ramadan Collection exclusively for the Middle East. Gone are the days when one would associate the Middle East with sun, sand and bustling souks where men, women, camels and everything else was traded under one roof. The economic boom in the Gulf has made the new age Arabian markets fabulously haute and happening. High-end global luxury labels and designers have their representation here with regionalised collections that are traditionally modest yet stylishly exciting — giving rise to a new face of Muslim fashion.

I thought the muslim women is supposed to dress like below.


Times must have changed.

There might soon be a fatwa over the off-shoulder dress.

Of course educated Muslim in India are somewhat more liberated than those in the Middle East.

I know of many muslim girl students who start with burkha from traditional homes and remove it at the college gate and put it back while going home.
liberal types are only upper class ladies.in metros. still the muslim ladies are conservatives and find protection in burkhas.at least chadars and head covering are normal in most homes.I understand they feel secure in them. I do not know if it is convenient

lastweek in royapetta, I went around the market place where muslim ladies in large numbers were shopping with zest for Eid. most while having burkhas left their faces uncovered.. many prefer the most fashionable dresses and cosmetics.there is a lot of money being spent during their festivals most preferring the most modern apparels and consumer items. they have good family values. also gulf money has made many affluent. you have to go to tamilnadu coastal towns and kerala cities to see their prosperity

I am told that the pressure for wearing Burqa has increased much more in the last 2 decades...Muslims want to show their individuality..It is Muslim societal + family pressures..Esp in TN wearing Burqa's in the 70's & 80's was a rarity..Now almost 99% wear this
