Ramadan fashion is
entering a new era, where the kaftan, or long dress associated with flowing
silhouettes and embellishments, gets a bold, contemporary twist every year.
Tony Ward’s Hollywood Glam Ready-to-Wear
Spring Summer 2025 collection, that is currently in stores, redefines modest
dressing, translating the sophistication and edge while blending them under the
same stitch.
This season,
kaftan-inspired looks step beyond the ‘traditional’, with sleek tailoring,
architectural and theatrical details, with innovative fabrics that cater to the
woman of today.
Traditionally, kaftans
are all for ease and fluidity, leaning towards maximalist embroidery and
conventional cuts.
But Tony Ward takes a
different route, transforming these pieces into power statements.
Look 13 introduces a structured take
on the kaftan, with an excess volume going on into a cinched waist and sculpted
lines. The monochromatic allure speaks volumes, proving that modesty doesn’t have
to be linked with simplicity; it could be sharp, refined, and oh so striking.
Another take is one of
Tony’s signature into embracing movement with a touch of sensuality through look 14; It offers
an unexpected play on transparency and lace. Delicate yet impactful, it
features intricate detailing that creates depth without overpowering the
silhouette.
It’s the kind of piece
that redefines elegance for Ramadan evenings: effortlessly chic, sophisticated,
and just daring enough.
Taking kaftan dressing
into sculptural territory, Look
15 makes a statement with its strong theatrical shoulders and much
defined structure. The bold lines are contrasted on the soft flow of the
fabric, giving a new energy to traditional Ramadan attire. Just stand out while
maintaining an air of effortless grace.
As for Look 16,
it
balances fluidity with contemporary tailoring, showcasing that kaftans don’t
need to be shapeless to be striking. The elongated sleeves and high neckline
channel a sense of a modest twist, but it’s the carefully cinched waist and
drapery that make it as a statement piece. It’s a Ramadan kind of dressing for
the woman who loves refinement!
Finally, Look 77 is all
for the modern kaftan aesthetic: minimalist yet powerful. Its sharp pleats and
elongated form give the illusion of effortless movement, while the structured
finish keeps the silhouette sleek!
Whether worn for a
family gathering, grand iftar or suhoor, this piece showcases comfort and craftsmanship.
Tony Ward’s
reinterpretation of the kaftan is not about only adhering to tradition, but it’s
about evolving it.
Ramadan dressing in
2025 is no longer limited to the expected; it’s about celebrating personal
style, embracing modernity, and making a statement without saying a word.
Just embrace it and
strand out!
