Old "Mecca Stars" Pics from Marie Claire (shot nowhere near Mecca)

Fashion shots from Dubai, taken in Marie Claire Magazine. And white all the muhajababe's out there have likely seen all these shots HALF A DOZEN times, I thought I'd include some behind the scenes coverage as well, which were not posted half as often. BTW, the models were mostly all Brazilian. Thank you Marie Claire for at least not presenting us all in a negative light, though you got attacked for not doing so.

Amal Murad Abayas

UAE designer, Amal Murad wanted to make the traditional abaya in line with the latest fashion trends, by making it wide and decorating it with different colours. The new collection displayed during Dubai Fashion Week, represented an example of the Gulf abaya with several cuts and materials ranging from chiffon to silk which Amal managed to use in an intelligent way. Murad brought together the winter styles,represented by coats and winter jackets, and incorporated them in the abaya using striped black and red fabrics and protruding embroidery, making it look like military suits. In her collection which comprises 27 abayas, Amal Murad escaped the narrow abaya, and opted for the “Butterfly” cut to have varied open cuts from right to left and vice versa, focusing on intermingling between materials.
