" Dolce &amp;amp;amp; Gabbana may be better known for its sexy\u00A0version of Italian glamour but today the brand announced the release of a collection aimed at its Muslim customers. The Dolce &amp;amp;amp; Gabbana abaya collection marks the brand&amp;#039;s first ever foray into\u00A0religious clothing -\u00A0a move that other brands seem to be making, too.  Last year Uniqlo released their own range of practical and stylish hijabs while H&amp;amp;amp;M enlisted their first ever hijab-wearing model for an ad campaign. D&amp;amp;amp;G&amp;#039;s attempt at high-end religious wear is altogether just as glamorous and luxe as you might expect.  Satin fabrics and lace trim gives the abayas a subtle sense of luxury\u00A0while elsewhere in the collection prints of polkadots, flowers and fruit all bear the unmistakeable hallmarks of the designer brand. The collection was announced on Arabia.Style.Com and Dolce designer\u00A0Stefano Gabbana was also quick to introduce his new work on\u00A0Instagram.           #dgabaya \u2764\uFE0F\u2764\uFE0F\u2764\uFE0F\u2764\uFE0F\u2764\uFE0F A photo posted by stefanogabbana (@stefanogabbana) on Jan 5, 2016 at 2:58am PST     Stefano posted a snap of one of the campaign images as the brand attempts to grow its retail ventures in a different market.
