The arrival of Vogue in the Middle East is changing the face of fashion\u2014and the world.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We have some exciting news:\u00a0Vogue <\/em>Arabia, the first Vogue<\/em> for Middle Eastern readers, has just released its very first issue this February 2017.\u00a0Debuting in Arabic and English, this history-making publication will be helmed by bonafide royalty<\/a>: Saudi Arabian Princess Deena Aljuhani Abdulaziz. Finally, Middle Eastern designers, editors, and artists will have a beloved international platform to showcase their talents. This is not just an important moment for the Middle East, but also for the world. We\u2019ve broken down exactly why the launch of Vogue <\/em>Arabia is a big deal for all of us.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In a time when the East and the West seem utterly divided, with xenophobia and tension running high, Vogue<\/em> has chosen to embrace Middle Eastern women. This is a partnership to be proud of. The art of fashion and storytelling are universal languages that can help bridge our divide.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Western media doesn\u2019t capture the full, diverse range of Middle Eastern culture, so Vogue <\/em>Arabia is an opportunity to challenge misconceptions. Editor-in-Chief Abdulaziz wants the world to know that Arab women are no different than others around the globe: All women want to feel empowered and look beautiful.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the Persian Gulf, there\u2019s been a huge rise in demand for couture. Italian designer duo Dolce & Gabbana recently launched its first collection of abayas <\/em>(robe-like dresses) and hijabs<\/em>, while Valentino sells full-length gowns that are tailored to the region\u2019s style. The launch of this publication proves that the nine billion-dollar luxury industry in the Middle East is something for fashion houses to invest in. We wouldn\u2019t be surprised if this leads to more styles designed with Muslim women in mind.<\/p>\n[[{“fid”:”4541″,”view_mode”:”default”,”type”:”media”,”link_text”:null,”field_deltas”:{},”attributes”:{“alt”:”Vogue Arabia Dolce and Gabbana”,”height”:600,”width”:921,”style”:”height:600px; width:921px”,”class”:”file-default media-element”,”data-delta”:”1″},”fields”:{}}]]\n1.
