To commemorate the holy month, renowned fashion houses from the Gulf and around the world have launched their new Ramadan collections. Vibrant colors, sustainable techniques, and symbolic motifs have all been included by designers into their works.
Honayda
The much awaited Ramadan 2024 capsule collection by the Saudi designer, dubbed "Suhail," is inspired by the Suhail star, also known as Canopus, which stands for transformation and fresh starts. The second-brightest star in the night sky, Canopus, is deeply significant to Arab culture. In addition to being largely used for navigation, people also strongly associate it with spirituality, Arab News reported.
Leem
According to a press release, the Saudi fashion house's Ramadan collection for this year "stands out with its mix of classic styles and modern detailing" and features "elegant silhouettes, vibrant color schemes, and sophisticated material choices."
Abayas, kaftans, and coord sets are all part of the capsule collection, which also includes geometric designs, tassel details, embroidered necklines, and prints with Najdi patterns.
The latest collection can be found at Leem's stores in Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia in addition to Leem.com, a global e-commerce platform, and Selfridges, Bloomingdale's, and Harvey Nichols.

"A captivating blend of vibrant colors and fabric palettes, using contrasting tones with graceful sheen, sequins and metallic accents," is what the Lebanese designer based in Dubai has to offer in her Ramadan 2024 collection. It uses two different materials and has 19 different ensembles, including dresses, kaftans, kimonos, and two-piece sets.
The first print is called Brushstroke and it "resembles paint strokes... combining rich blues, purples, and greens with creamy hues." The other fabric has a variety of shapes and colors, such as cream, navy blue, green, burgundy, and black, with overtones of gold, and is "adorned with stars, moons, and Islamic architecture." /BGNES
