Woman This Month - May 2019

I dette nummeret

Ramadan Kareem everyone. By the time you read this, the Holy Month will be literally around the corner and we’ll all be gearing up for a month of spirituality and daily fasting followed by lush evening Iftars and Ghabgas where we’ll catch up with business contacts and friends that we often don’t make enough effort to see during the rest of the year.
To help you make the most of this special time, we’ve taken a good look at modest dressing in this issue. It’s safe to say that the days of head-to-toe black are becoming a thing of the past as women of various faiths embrace this path. In the fashion pages, Fernanda takes her cue from some superstar names who are following the trend. While in our big Ramadan feature, we look at designer and high-street options with a special focus on the recent Istanbul Modest Fashion Week. And, not forgetting our local heroines, there’s info on some of the Bahrain-based ladies making their mark with funky abayas, kaftans and more.
