Amal Murad Abayas

UAE designer, Amal Murad wanted to make the traditional abaya in line with the latest fashion trends, by making it wide and decorating it with different colours. The new collection displayed during Dubai Fashion Week, represented an example of the Gulf abaya with several cuts and materials ranging from chiffon to silk which Amal managed to use in an intelligent way. Murad brought together the winter styles,represented by coats and winter jackets, and incorporated them in the abaya using striped black and red fabrics and protruding embroidery, making it look like military suits. In her collection which comprises 27 abayas, Amal Murad escaped the narrow abaya, and opted for the “Butterfly” cut to have varied open cuts from right to left and vice versa, focusing on intermingling between materials.

If anyone knows where to purchese these abayas from (I will write the fashion shoots' photographer to ask) let me know:D. They remind of Oman.

I love the blue flowers and the flounce of the tassels. I have weakness for floral embroidery in general though....

I love the fabrics on this one. It reminds me of the striped work of Beduoin women.

The gold sleeves on the one are just too incredible. Wedding wear I say. The cut on this one reminds me of the glam silky evening dresses of the 1930s.The cut of this one is just gorgeous. Too bad the model's hip looks dislocated:D Didn't Tyra instruct all the top models not to do that? Moving on...Pretty... But not me.This one is cool. It has an Asian theme to it but it isn't just some chinese print fabric on the cuffs.
Another Bisht style.
Okay, I love this one. The Bisht style with a bit of crazy print.
They also design pretty tops that could be worn as hijab with matching shaylas. If you can afford it, the stuff is lovely. They have some misses though. A python trimmed wild wild west style abaya?! Gaaaaa. My favourite of them all though is the papillon style, and the gypsy style, from last seasons collections.

Lovely Kuwaiti??? Abayaat

This probably one of my fave abayas of all time. The shine, the detail at the back (covered when hijab is worn properly), the simple ambroidery... Soooooooooooo classic.

I love birqas! I don't know why, but they remind me of Venetian masks, which I've always had a thing for. This abaya would look good on my girl Boxie.

Silky balloon sleeved with very pretty floral print. Oooh la la this one is also tres moi.

Another one for Boxie. Ladies, please wrap your hijabs so that they cover your hair and your chests... These are just for fashion pics, and are not being worn as hijab.
