Arabian Fashion

-A Arabian Fashion Shop



The Story Of Arabian Costume..
-throughout the most part it have been undocumented,that i've researched so far;however the earliest times,cloth & beautiful clothes have been woven into the fabric of the Arabian tradition.Nearly 3,000 years ago,through the golden ages of the Umayyad and Abbasid empires,the Arabian Peninsula was near the center of the old World's stage.
-But influences other than history and fashion affected the development of traditional Arabian clothing. First there was the harsh reality of the desert climate, hot and – except in the humid coastal regions – extremely dry. Clothing had to protect its wearer from the sun and wind, and had to catch cool breezes while yet conserving body moisture essential for life itself. On a different plane, there was the cultural and religious injunction to modesty in behavior and dress. Over the past 50 years alone, for example the introduction of synthetic fibers- and air conditioning have led to slimmer cuts in both men & women attire, especially in the fitted sleeves..These includes the basic similarity of men's and womens garments,regional variations due to climate and altitude,tribes distinctions in stylistic or
ecorative details, and speculations on certain subtle influences which may have found their way aboard.
