“Celebrations are joyful, affectionate moments and the perfect occasion for family gatherings,” says Dolce. “Each person lives out these moments in a personal way, therefore, even one’s way of dressing must reflect the importance and sacredness of the occasion.” Courtesy Dolce & Gabbana
Covetable designs for Eid include classic black abayas and verdant print kaftans and jalabiyas, with complementing sandals and pumps in jewel tones of citrine and sapphire. Courtesy Dolce & Gabbana
The educational and creative process of designing abayas is an evolving one for the designers, who have visited the UAE on previous occasions and count regional royals and VIPs among their clients. Courtesy Dolce & Gabbana
“You never stop learning,” says Dolce. “With any market or culture in the world, the important thing is to always be willing to challenge yourself, to compete with different realities and to remain curious. That’s the true beauty of our work.” Courtesy Dolce & Gabbana
Gabbana says, "Arabian fashion is fascinating and since it is rich in history and traditions, one can easily take inspiration from it.” Courtesy:Dolce & Gabbana
