In recent years, luxury global brands have not only begun to acknowledge but also honour the substantial impact and buying power of the GCC market by releasing luxury Ramadan collections.
Leading fashion houses unveil exclusive collections right before the Holy Month of Ramadan, redefining modern modesty with cultural sensitivity. Ramadan collections have evolved from basic templatisation of modest wear to curated capsules enriched with regional understanding.
The luxury fashion industry shows an unprecedented commitment to designing collections that capture the spiritual essence of the holy month whilst staying true to their unique design DNA. Ramadan 2025 is no different — exclusive lines launched this year demonstrate a similar strategy — traditional craftsmanship integrating flawlessly with modern design to create an authentic blend of contemporary fashion and cultural heritage.
