I love the fashion sense of ME women, plain and simple. Who are your favorite designers and what niche do they flourish in? I do not want to discriminate against the ME man, but I don’t see much other than European-influenced off-the-shelf, but if you know of someone who is making fabulous clothing for the ME man, please enlighten. Shukran.

Do you mean with or without the abaya?
Either one. I just love how ME women dress, their sense of beauty and how they carry themselves. Even the ones who decide to veil exude a beauty that can detract from a woman who is not even wearing the shayla and abaya. Do not read me wrong- I am not forcing anything on anybody. I believe in a woman’s right to choose. I have seen all spectrums of fashion sense here, and even fusion of the abaya and modesty with cutting edge fashions. Not all women are wearing the abaya out of respect for their family, but for other reasons like fending off unwanted advances from rude men. Not all abaya wearers are Muslim, neither. I think it is a stereotype that ME folks started for themselves. Anyway, back to what the intent of my thread, I just want to know if there are any popular ME fashion designers that deserve some recognition.
Elie Saab, Fadi Nahlee, Abed Mahfouz…..
Middle East designers are fun, modern, elegant and I simply love that twist ! but there are not easy to find online. I know for example that website Dia Diwan where you can find elegant clutches, dresses, jewellery etc. from young middle east designers
when i think ME, BodyAmr comes to mind, they are amazing!
