Rabia Z's collection sizzles in New York

Many of you know may know about Rabia Z, and if you don't your definitely missing out! We were invited to the private screening of her new Spring/Summer 2012 collection in New York, however due us being based in London this was not unfortunately possible.

Fear not though folks, for we have pictures of the catwalk show (via Getty Images) which are absolutely stunning. The clothes are modern yet ethnic, western yet with a hint of the east, reflective of both her Afghan and Arab heritage. You can see the Afghan influence in the embroidery on the necks of some of the dresses which come from traditional tribal wear and Rabia Z herself wore this look and looked fantastic.


The show was organised in Casa Le Femme, an Egyptian venue in NY. Its beautiful decor added a touch of Eastern and Arabian flavour, and setting an atmosphere perfect for the collection. The models walked through the audience who looked relaxed seated in tables surrounded by beduin tents.



These are our favourite looks from the show:















Visit the whole collection in our facebook album here, and do leave a comment letting us know which styles are your favourite and why!

    I absolutely ADORE the turquoise/light blue abaya jersey dress with the taupe trim + shayla (pic 4) - it's beautiful! Love the drapes, colour, the simplicity of the look + it's fresh for spring + summer. Hope it becomes available to buy online :D
    I've bought some of the Rabia Z shaylas + one black duster with camel trim (RZAW11 Look 24A) from the Facebook shop + have ordered some more hijabs since the online store has now moved onto the website. I love her stuff - so comfy + easy to wear.
    I'd like to order another Ruby duster (either 3A, 3B or 3C) but can't decide on which colour - purple, taupe or black? I even toyed with maybe getting 2 dusters.
    Any suggestions/advise? Got 3 days to make up my mind before the special ends :)
    Nice blog - keep up the posts - they are fun, light + easy to read but informative about the products as well. FYI - that's how I got introduced to Aab - via your reviews :)
