Ramadan capsule collections for 2025: Explore 13 global and home-grown brands


  • English
  • Arabic

As Ramadan approaches, fashion houses release capsule collections dedicated to the holy month. For global brands, it is an acknowledgement of their commitment to the Middle East and a mark of respect towards their client base.

This can also be observed in the evolution of Ramadan collections, moving away from simple themes to capsules that show a more nuanced understanding of the region.

For home-grown brands, paying special attention to the month comes naturally, and we have included a mix of both in this round-up of the most exciting capsule collections this Ramadan.

One of the first big European houses to embrace Ramadan, Dolce & Gabbana has unveiled its latest collection that is inspired by the natural beauty of the Middle East. Called the Exclusive Collection, it is filled with women's pieces such as dresses, kaftans and pyjamas in midnight blue, emerald green, terracotta and sand, with many decorated with scatterings of handworked beading. To accompany these, there are also Sicily and Marlene bags decked with multicoloured crystals. The men's collection, meanwhile, is filled with relaxed tailoring in linen, cotton and silk twill for a languid mood.

Loro Piana has called on its famously upscale fabrics for a capsule collection designed for layering. Discreet florals, rich jacquards, ultra lightweight knitwear, and silk and linen mixes have been made into elegantly unstructured and timeless coats, kaftans, wide cut trousers, and flowing dresses, that are finished with exquisite buttons and refined details. Superfine wool and linen mixes, double-faced satins and gossamer silk and linens bring additional sophistication to pieces in sage green, pale pink and the shifting gold and sand tones of the desert.

Spanning breezy kaftans, maxi dresses and matching trouser sets for her, and laid back short sets and bomber jackets for him, each brings a touch of Ford's timeless cuts into an everyday wardrobe.

Using rich metallic in warm tones, the 2025 iteration is the latest exploration of the famous Dior codes, from the Bar jacket to full, midi skirts. Mixing pared-back refinement with elevated materials such as silk, tulle and fluid, molten gold cloth, the collection shifts through sheer silhouettes and beautifully tailored separates in iridescent tones.

Prada brings its signature mix of embellishment and minimalism to Ramadan, with a collection that offers women silken skirts and dresses covered with mirrors, sequins, and crystals, and for men, floral shirts, elevated polo shirts and relaxed jackets.

Many of the women's looks are elongated versions of existing pieces, meaning classic pleated skirts are now midi length, while pintuck poplin dresses fall well below the knee, and chemisier dresses – worn with oversized knitwear – now reach to the floor.

The palette is mainly neutrals – think soft grey, cream, pale astro blue and desert beige – mixed with pops of jewel tones, such as fern green and rust.

Three-day coronation

Royal purification

The entire coronation ceremony extends over three days from May 4-6, but Saturday is the one to watch. At the time of 10:09am the royal purification ceremony begins. Wearing a white robe, the king will enter a pavilion at the Grand Palace, where he will be doused in sacred water from five rivers and four ponds in Thailand. In the distant past water was collected from specific rivers in India, reflecting the influential blend of Hindu and Buddhist cosmology on the coronation. Hindu Brahmins and the country's most senior Buddhist monks will be present. Coronation practices can be traced back thousands of years to ancient India.

The crown

Not long after royal purification rites, the king proceeds to the Baisal Daksin Throne Hall where he receives sacred water from eight directions. Symbolically that means he has received legitimacy from all directions of the kingdom. He ascends the Bhadrapitha Throne, where in regal robes he sits under a Nine-Tiered Umbrella of State. Brahmins will hand the monarch the royal regalia, including a wooden sceptre inlaid with gold, a precious stone-encrusted sword believed to have been found in a lake in northern Cambodia, slippers, and a whisk made from yak's hair.

The Great Crown of Victory is the centrepiece. Tiered, gold and weighing 7.3 kilograms, it has a diamond from India at the top. Vajiralongkorn will personally place the crown on his own head and then issues his first royal command.

The audience

On Saturday afternoon, the newly-crowned king is set to grant a "grand audience" to members of the royal family, the privy council, the cabinet and senior officials. Two hours later the king will visit the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, the most sacred space in Thailand, which on normal days is thronged with tourists. He then symbolically moves into the Royal Residence.

The procession

The main element of Sunday's ceremonies, streets across Bangkok's historic heart have been blocked off in preparation for this moment. The king will sit on a royal palanquin carried by soldiers dressed in colourful traditional garb. A 21-gun salute will start the procession. Some 200,000 people are expected to line the seven-kilometre route around the city.

Meet the people

On the last day of the ceremony Rama X will appear on the balcony of Suddhaisavarya Prasad Hall in the Grand Palace at 4:30pm "to receive the good wishes of the people". An hour later, diplomats will be given an audience at the Grand Palace. This is the only time during the ceremony that representatives of foreign governments will greet the king.
