Gold and Sparkle

While browsing Pintrest I came across these beautiful images and felt I just had to share them! The current issues around the world have given the Burkah a negative image and and while these are not traditional Burkas they have the elements of one. I am not posting this to be political or for any other reason than the fact these looks are beautiful. The detail created on these Looks by Abaya Designs in 2014 are stunning. 

All I can think of when I see these designs is the scene from Sex and the City 2 when the ladies of Abu Dabi save the SATC ladies from the angry men and reveal the current Louis Vuitton line under their Burkas. 

This to me shows that where a lot of people like to promote the bad side of the Burkah or to the tradition of coving up, calling it repressive to women I feel this shows that there are women who embrace this element of their religion and have adapteded it to suit them.
