They come in a number of styles and colours that make it all the more difficult to choose one that suits you the best.

A brief internet search highlights articles on a number of Islamic fashion festivals and displays and quite a few websites selling Muslim clothing and bringing style tips., which took place in Jakarta.

Muslim female usually wear designer labels below their outer clothing and increasingly they want to wear trendy outerwear too. Devout need not mean drab. Model designers are waking up to this need for trendy Muslim apparel, and specialised stores, web sites and fashion exhibits are springing up across the UK.

European style labels are beginning to embrace Muslim model. In June 2009 at The Saks Fifth Avenue Riyadh and Jeddah model show held at the George V hotel in Paris, top European model labels including John Galliano and Blumarine showcased patterns wearing couture abayas.

This has led them to consider the idea of producing designer abayas, will this mark the beginning of a new fashion trend for both Muslim and non Muslim woman?

The designers and merchants seem suddenly to have woken up to the fact that Muslim woman are as interested in model as any other woman, and while a cynic can put this down to the recognition of a very lucrative and as yet virtually uptapped market, a wider availability of stylish Muslim outfit must surely be good for Muslim women everywhere.

It can be that Muslim lady themselves, but well versed in the nuances and requirements of their religion, will be best equipped to introduce traditional garments to the world of high style.
