Rabia Yalcin...Modest Couture

The Turkish Gown Guru Rabia Yalcin is one of the muslim designers making her debut at New York’s Fashion Week alongside big names such as Donna Karan and Nicole Miller. The Istanbul-based designer dresses in Islamic tradition in public (wears the hijab) and designs gowns that are worn with a headscarf in public and appear to be demure and modest but with a slip of a button can transform into a dress that can be quite provocative (meant to be worn only in front of the husband ofcourse).

The designer deals with turkey’s anti-hijab stance in this way. Her Daughter designs funky hats that cover the hair so that no one at her university can tell she is actually wearing them for religious purposes. People think she is making a fashion statement.

I find this funny:halo:. however…some of the gowns are really cute

Re: Rabia Yalcin...Modest Couture

uh the dresses r kinda ugly

Re: Rabia Yalcin...Modest Couture

Very interesting but the stuff on her website (at least hte first 4-5 ) doesn't look very hijabi...the button must have slipped d:)

Re: Rabia Yalcin...Modest Couture

i was just going to say... they're pretty revealing. i dont see how any hijabi would agree to wearing them.

Re: Rabia Yalcin...Modest Couture

Ive only looked at a few and i dont like them.

Re: Rabia Yalcin...Modest Couture

interesting, i like a few there. The dresses doesn't have a desi touch to um. Lets see how many would actually buy and wear um. Though i dont think it would appeal many hijabis.

Re: Rabia Yalcin…Modest Couture

i think the dresses are meant to be worn privately and the lady makes cover-ups that go with them. i dont know why the cover-ups arent on the website. :confused:

Re: Rabia Yalcin…Modest Couture

What’s the point of wasting so much money on such an expensive outfit to wear only in private? HEllo, tahts wat we have lingerie for :naraz:

Re: Rabia Yalcin...Modest Couture

people have variable tastes.

Re: Rabia Yalcin...Modest Couture

Yeah.. i guess...
chup

Re: Rabia Yalcin...Modest Couture

i like some of the gowns, other than that there's nothing unique about her designs...

Re: Rabia Yalcin...Modest Couture

i think the dresses r very prettyn unique but they r certainly not our type.for arab galz its normal.they wear similar revealing outfits in private ladies functions n wear hijab n abayahs when step out in public.anyone living in or around middle east would know what i mean.
