Over the past decade the traditional garment of the Arab world has grown into a major style statement not only for the women that done this attire but also for many Fashionistas who love to enjoy this sensually mysterious ensemble . Gone are the days that the Abaya was only considered a norm of the muslim law . Today they are a symbol of style , status and most of all beauty . We applaud the designers of haute couture abayas for creating such lovely pieces of art while still maintaining the modesty of this majestic garment .
This season saw minimal use of embellishment and embroidery , as in the past. A large number of designers have experimented with silhouettes ,new cuts and a lovely array of fabrics that would otherwise not be found in this form of attire. Inspiration has been drawn from many different cultures ; chinese , persian ,french and indian to name a few . All in all , which ever be the case , we love this ensemble for oozing sensuality , modesty and class .
Here are a potpourri of designs that are astoundingly pretty and will make fashionistas crave for an occassion to wear these Abayas.
