Dolce & Gabbana, never a fashion house to shy away from bold statements, claimed the first fashion headline story of the year this week with the news that it is launching a collection of hijabs and abayas. Stefano Gabbana unveiled the collection on Instagram, where it can be seen styled with the house's blinged-up accessories to consolidate its fashion gravitas.
