Some of Sumayyah al-Suwaidi's designs caused controversy
"I had see-through abayas, and the models were wearing one-piece [swimwear] underneath.
I had a lot of girls telling me that they did not want their abayas represented in this way .
But I did it in this way for the West [because] they wouldn't wear it in the same way
that we wear it."

Most of these fashion companies start on Instagram," says Dr Van Horne.
"They're doing Instagram and Twitter - and some Facebook.
"They're also using [messaging services] Whatsapp and BBM."
Abu Dhabi-based Noor Alsherif is one such designer who puts photos of her clothes up !
"Instagram is easy and fast," says the 34-year-old

Those clothes are pretty. Yes, but can they drive a car down the street? Are they legally given driver's licenses?
Can they divorce if their husband tried to kill them? If their husband permitted a divorce could they take legal custody of their minor aged children? Can they vote? Can they hold office?

Female drivers are overrated : we cuss them universally and are hypocrites here !
