Dolce & Gabbana debuts fabulous line of Hijabs and Abayas
A new year is all about new change, and in fashion, new collections and concepts are rolling out faster than we can count. But what’s surprising to us is the latest Dolce & Gabbana collection. Gone are the cut-to-there necklines, and in their place we have abayas. Yes, abayas. Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce have jumped into the world of high fashion modesty clothing and just debuted a sartorial take on the very functional item.
Of course, this is Dolce & Gabbana, so there’s the trademark lace, present in nearly every collection the duo shows. And there’s some rather beautiful embroidery and exquisite draping. But then there’s the sheer abaya, or the one slit with a sheer panel, showing a fair amount of leg. Granted, real life women won’t be nearly nude under these but still, they leave you scratching your head.
