New York Fashion Week is in full swing, kicking off the season for spring / summer 2020 ready to wear collections.
Tom Ford, Caroline Herrera and Jeremy Scott are among the big name designers to show so far, with collections from Marc Jacobs and Michael Kors still to come.
Among the collections presented over the past week, there have been plenty of great moments for modest fashion. Here we round up some of the best.
1. Classic neutrals at Proenza Schouler
Proenza Schouler's spring / summer collection kept things light with classic spring neutrals, and the occasional pop of colour. The ready-to-wear collection was all about layering, like this clean ivory blazer paired with a geometric beige skirt and blouse combination.
2. Gold glamour at Oscar de la Renta
Never one to shy away from glamour, Oscar de la Renta’s spring / summer 2020 collection was true to form, with plenty of romantic ruffles and spring florals. This long-sleeved angel gown in metallic gold stole the show with its exaggerated pleats and flowing hemline.
3. Tropical trapeze at Naeem Khan
It was bright patterns and bold cuts at Naeem Khan's NYFW spring/summer 2020 show. This tropical trapeze dress, styled with oversized hoops and layered necklaces, was made for sunny climates.
4. All white everything at Tom Ford
Colour block suits are going nowhere next season, as Tom Ford showed with his spring/summer vision. His all-white offering is the perfect way to do layered spring tailoring.
5. Romantic ruffles and colourful crochet at Zimmermann
Zimmermann's spring / summer collection is one of the most talked about from this season’s NYFW, thanks to its classic florals, dreamy fabrics and bold colours. This pastel yellow chiffon gown is a spring staple, while the crochet orange high neck dress makes a summer statement.
6. Chic clashes at Collina Strada
It was all about clashes at Collina Strada, mixing silky fabrics with heavy jackets, and delicate florals with bold patterns. This pastel blue silk dress mixed with a deep red patterned shacket (that's a shirt jacket, for any novices) makes for a playful and interesting spring look.
7. And off the runway
Irish-Palestinian influencer Marwa Biltagi has been showcasing some serious modest wear street style throughout NYFW. She hit the Tory Burch show wearing head-to-toe pink, with a pleated Marni skirt, Blaze Milano jacket and matching hijab from Haute Hijab.

UAE currency: the story behind the money in your pockets
Why it pays to compare
A comparison of sending Dh20,000 from the UAE using two different routes at the same time - the first direct from a UAE bank to a bank in Germany, and the second from the same UAE bank via an online platform to Germany - found key differences in cost and speed. The transfers were both initiated on January 30.
Route 1: bank transfer
The UAE bank charged Dh152.25 for the Dh20,000 transfer. On top of that, their exchange rate margin added a difference of around Dh415, compared with the mid-market rate.
Total cost: Dh567.25 - around 2.9 per cent of the total amount
Total received: €4,670.30
Route 2: online platform
The UAE bank’s charge for sending Dh20,000 to a UK dirham-denominated account was Dh2.10. The exchange rate margin cost was Dh60, plus a Dh12 fee.
Total cost: Dh74.10, around 0.4 per cent of the transaction
Total received: €4,756
The UAE bank transfer was far quicker – around two to three working days, while the online platform took around four to five days, but was considerably cheaper. In the online platform transfer, the funds were also exposed to currency risk during the period it took for them to arrive.
