Meanwhile, a dedicated Prada installation for the Qatar Museums’ project will stand inside the fashion house’s new store in the Doha Place Vendôme mall. Prada revisits the traditional abaya in three ways. The voluminous garment is made of Re-Nylon Piuma, taffeta, or technical pongee. The hues range from black, to blue, laurel green, and sand. Complementing the abayas are elegant silk twill scarves with a small, all-over triangular pattern and a triangle brooch to accessorize the scarf.
