Modest and metallic

Now here’s a Ramadan collection to get excited about. Dubai-based designer Dima Ayad has created a range of stellar open-front kaftans from exquisite metallic jacquards. Opt for a structured design in pink or a statement silver piece with exaggerated ruffles.

Secret jewellery

Hidden watches are making a comeback. Van Cleef & Arpels’ stunning ribbon watches, available in white gold and pink gold, are covered in round diamonds or pink sapphires. Twist the bow to conceal the watch, transforming the timepiece into a bracelet.
