Hari Raya is just around the corner, a time to dress up and look your best, but if you haven’t managed to find the perfect outfit or you’re looking to add to your wardrobe don’t panic! Online store Zalora has some fabulous capsule collections created especially for the celebration and they can deliver it within days directly to your door.
A look from Zalora’s in-house label Zalia
Zalora has commissioned some of the top Muslim fashion designers to create capsule collections especially for Hari Raya (and for any other function you might be attending actually). Top labels like Jovian Mandagie, Rizalman and Melinda Looi ‒ which are usually very expensive ‒ are offering imprints with the same quality of design and aesthetic but at a more reasonable price. On top of that, Zalora’s in-house brand Zalia has a huge number of items that are budget friendly but still fashionable too; you’re sure to find something you like.
JOVIAN MANDAGIE’S CHANTILLY & FALLING FEATHERS COLLECTIONS
Jovian Mandagie is one of Southeast Asia’s top fashion designers and his specialist collections for Hijabi fashion have been seen on top Malaysian and Indonesian celebrities. The Chantilly by Jovian Mandagie range features delicate lace appliqued and beaded kabaya suits that are soft and romantic but also freshly modern with shapes like peplums and flared skirts. Prices range from $159 to $179 for a baju kurung. The Falling Feathers range is more draped and a little more traditional in style; and it’s currently on sale too!

RIZALMAN FOR ZALORA COLLECTION
If you’re looking for a sharply modern take on modest dressing, then you need to check out the Rizalman for Zalora collection. Making use of trends like colour-blocking and the judicious placement of embellishment, the collection has baju kurung (which even non Muslim fashion lovers will want) in classic black, neutrals and strong colours like cobalt blue and emerald green. Prices range from $219.90 to $139.

EMEL BY MELINDA LOOI
Emel by Melinda Looi’s collection for Zalora features a lot of prints and a more “girlie” aesthetic if that’s what you’re looking for; the shapes are fairly modern as well and the baju kurung have a “separates” feel to them. Prices range from $189 to $99.90.

I.C BY INNER CIRCLE
For women who are looking for more daywear than evening wear, I.C by Inner Circle offers some lovely looks in modern prints and shapes featuring baju kurung that look more like separates than “suits” if you know what I mean and have a kind of country feel to them. Prices range from $84.90 to $69.90 with some looks on sale for only $35!
