Net-A-Porter fetes Ramadan with exclusive edit

Online retailer Net-A-Porter is being mindful of its global consumers’ needs by carrying pieces specifically for Ramadan.

Last year, Net-A-Porter prepared a highly-regarded Ramadan version of The Edit, its weekly online magazine, in celebration of the Muslim holy month. A number of fashion houses have taken an all inclusive approach to accommodate global citizens by offering modest dressings and wardrobe staples such as “nudes” in a range of skin-colored tones.

For this year’s Ramadan Edit, Net-A-Porter will offer consumers exclusive collections by Oscar de la Renta and Etro, made specifically for the holy month. The Ramadan Edit on a whole includes apparel, accessories and footwear.

Oscar de la Renta’s contribution to the Ramadan collection includes four floor-length gowns made of silk, silk-crepe or silk-satin. The modest gowns feature crystal-embellished embroidery, embellishments and fashionable sleeves, making the pieces appropriate for the holiday.

Exclusive pieces from Etro include silk-crepe de chine pants in the brand’s signature paisley print as well as long sleeved top of the same material. Etro also included a printed silk crepe de chine maxi dress with three-quarter sleeves for added modesty.

Prices for the exclusive items range from $1,080 for Etro’s printed top to $4,490 for Oscar de la Renta’s cape-effect silk-satin gown. As of press time, nearly all the exclusive items, in various sizes, are either sold out or low in stock.

The Muslim holy month of Ramadan begins on the evening of June 5 and will end July 5.

Earlier this year, Italian fashion brand Dolce & Gabbana launched its first collection geared exclusively toward Muslim women.

The Dolce & Gabbana Abaya fall/winter 2016-17 collection includes a range of abayas and hijabs in the label’s bright and colorful prints. International interest in high-fashion labels has resulted in brands embracing cultural differences through product output such as beauty products in a variety of shades and clothing options (see story).
