31 Oct

Day 5 of Dubai Fashion week dawned with exotic Indian bridal wear (which is also quite hijab friendly) from designer Arnab Sengupta  and some great abayas from Rouge Couture designs. Take a look at my favourites from both collections:

Arnab Sengupta‘s designs immediately spoke of tradition and style . The paisley prints and intricate Indian embroidery and mirror work was a indeed an exotic treat to behold. I simply loved all the hijab friendly and almost hijab friendly pieces in the collection:

Rouge Couture‘s abayas were one of a kind, the clear cut designs together with its gathers, patterns and embroidery made a collection that is by far the most unique from the different collections we saw last week, take a look for yourself:

This is my favourite abaya from the collection. I always love that colour with black;
