Dolce & Gabbana, one of the famous Italian fashion brands, has added a new line to its luxury products aimed at hijab-wearing women. This line will produce 'hijabs and abayas' (or Arabic chadors). According to Elle magazine, the collection is named 'Abaya Collection' by Stefano Gabbana, the designer and founder of the brand. Gabbana announced the exclusive news of this collection on his Instagram and Twitter accounts. The garments in this collection are made of georgette and satin, which Gabbana states have 'plenty of lace details.' According to the New York Post, these garments are black or beige and feature specific Dolce & Gabbana design details such as roses, daisies, and lemon fruit. According to Stylist, although many fabrics have been used in the design of these garments, they are not heavy. The prices of these garments have not yet been announced, but the price range for this brand's clothing is between seven hundred to seven thousand dollars for a scarf to a long dress. Dolce & Gabbana is not the first well-known brand to see hijab-wearing women as powerful customers in the fashion world. H&M and DKNY have also released collections featuring Islamic hijabs. Other clothing brands are increasingly using long-sleeved or long-skirted garments in their new collections to capture the Muslim women's market. According to Reuters, the consumption of clothing and shoes among Muslim women is rapidly increasing. This magazine predicts that Muslim women will spend nearly five hundred billion dollars on clothing, shoes, and fashion accessories by 2019.
