With the kingdom’s searing summer underway and social distancing regulations keeping us at bay from one another, the kingdom’s designers are utilising vibrant colours and bold complements to help fashionistas make their mark. 

Bahrain-based “fusionary” designer label Moda Vestire has unveiled its summer and Eid Al Adha collections, encompassing light and bright colours, breathable fabrics and bold accessories that suit every environment.

The brand, which was founded by husband and wife duo Adnan and Nazia Mustafa and recently featured in Los Angeles-based fashion magazine QP, boasts a range of Middle-Eastern, Indo-Pak and Asian clothing that is just as comfortable to wear at home as it is fashionable for a drive around the city or a small get-together.

Nazia told GulfWeekly: “The summer and Eid Al Adha of 2020 is all about bold accessories that will draw attention away from the mask and gloves which we are encouraged to wear. These can be noticed from a distance and make a statement with the right outfit.

“One of my favourite outfits from the summer and Eid collections is an in-house designed hand-woven silk Banarasi “lehenga” or skirt. I pair this with a Vipul Shah Gypsy belt and hand-crafted banjara clutch, in addition to gold and silver bangles, which make the entire ensemble pop.”

Jordanian designer, Reema Dahbour, has helped design many of the pieces in the summer collection. Among the highlights is a stunning baby pink cocktail dress, which will impress just as much in small gatherings as video conference meetings.

If you are looking for an ensemble that enchants in every situation, Moda Vestire’s sea-green calligraphy pants, coupled with Reema’s polka dot shirt and a pure gorgette chiffon top are sure to stun one and all.

You can also rock the professional look with a bright pant suit available in red or can be tailored in custom colours.

Of course, this is also a good time to stock up for the anticipated post-Covid wave of weddings with an emerald green gown, paired with Riana earrings.

As Eid approaches and many family gatherings will be held virtually, there is no excuse to not look your best with one of Moda Vestire’s newest outfits, which can be previewed and bought on their online store. And for a limited time, GulfWeekly readers can get 30 per cent off their order by using the promo code “VESTIREGW30” at the online checkout.
