For the month of Ramadan and with Eid approaching just around the corner, fashion designers have created new collections to celebrate.

It’s time to dress up to the occasion. Colourful kaftans, embellished abayas, and uniquely designed cover-ups made with different prints and patterns, to match your every mood and every occasion. Here, we sum up the hottest collections and the designers behind the vibrant creations.

DKNY Ramadan Collection

Famous fashion label DKNY just launched its first Ramadan fashion line following the debut of their Middle Eastern website. The line is targeted toward modest Middle Eastern fashionistas celebrating this time of year. The two prominent members of the Middle Eastern fashion community that were responsible for creating and styling the collection are Dubai-based designer Tamara Al Gabbani and Styles magazine fashion editor Yalda Golsharifi.

The new line features high necklines and low hemlines, including maxi dresses, long-sleeved blouses and pants in a variety of festive colours and prints, all of which are fashionable as well as culturally appropriate for many Muslim women. The clothing is sure to hide the collarbone and won't show a glimpse of cleavage. This line is made of a layering of light and even some sheer fabrics, giving it a soft breezy look.

The unique pieces are only available in stores in the Middle East, but you can check out the full collection here.
