check out a quick Gulf News interview with emirati designer Rabia Z about her cute race day hijab looks.
here is what she says about them via gulf news:
Colour me ready (top right)Vibrant jewel-toned colours complement one another to create this very young, summery look.Rabia says: "Effortlessly chic! Don't be afraid to play with your favourite jewel-coloured dresses and tops. Be sure to use colours that complement one another. This look is ideal for abaya wearers to jazz up their black shaylas."Black and White (top centre)Love the beautiful top but won't buy it because it is sleeveless? Rabia uses a shawl to tastefully cover up without giving the feel of layering. For the "race" look, jazz up the exaggerated hat with a floral headband.Rabia says: "Uber, feminine chic. This is a look that works for all ages and was inspired by my mother who would dress up in this manner in the early '80s during her UK vacations. This look was a rage after the launch of my 2007 collection."Hat trick (top left)The headband works well for women who shy away from wearing hats. A vintage-coloured, long sleeveless dress - styled with a classic fitted tuxedo jacket and a big belt worn around the waist - helps create an empire cut look. This look is timeless, elegant and very comfortable.Rabia says: "The accessories inspired me to include the headbands in my already completed autumn-winter 2011 collection - as I simply love the effect they create - something which I had previously done in 2008 too."
which look would you wear?
