Rabia Z. Fall 2011 collection

Dubai Fashion Week, April 19th - 23rd, 2011

During the Dubai Fashion Week Fall/Winter show in April 2011, I did not have a chance to post anything about it. I knew that one of my favorite fashion designers, Rabia Z., participated on that event, but then I forgot to post her fabulous designs on the Fashion Week's runways.

Recently found the official Dubai Fashion Week's youtube channel, and there was a video on Rabia Z., showcasing a glimpse of Rabia Z.'s Autumn/Winter 2011 collection in that event.

So, here it is:

Love all of the designs! :)

Watch out to the skin-hued legging/tee

Fashion False for Hijabi

I like to observe people's style, especially their street-styles. In regard to that, I sometimes found interesting things about their style that I used to analyze in my mind then conclude it for myself, whether it was good or not good (according to my own opinion).

Once, in the past few weeks, I stumbled upon some sisters' looks, and found things which I thought they were one of the fashion falses for hijabi. One of the things is:

Wear a skin-hued legging under a mini or midi skirt/dress.


Unfortunately the pic is blur, so the detail is missing.

When I saw them or looked at their pictures from a distance, it looked like they did not wear anything to cover their legs. The legging looked like their own skin, and this is a weird look for hijabi.

The same also apply when I saw a hijabi wearing a skin-hued long-sleeved tee under a tank-top or under a halter-neck top.

I am not saying that this is not right, but these kind of looks are weird for hijabi, especially with the headscarf "on".

Hijab styling tips: Choose so many colors to wear (for your layering leggings/tee) other than the one that have the same hue with the skin tone.

So, be careful with the wardrobe pieces you choose to wear, unless you want to end up look like a desperate hijabi... ;) When we put things on our body, it shouldn't be just an action of layering and layering as an effort to cover up.. but the pieces we wear should "flow smoothly" as a whole united fabulous outfit! 

One of the gist of Hijab Fashion is how we smartly combine various pieces of wardrobe to be one whole (not just) sophisticated, (but also) modest outfit. And, as a hijabi, we know that to be "in" in this challenging fashion world, it takes double efforts for us to do that.. 

But, let's enjoy! ;)


What did you think about it?
