Catering to the Muslim market has also been of interest to luxury brands and retailers in recent years, particularly for Ramadan. Designers like Tommy Hilfiger and DKNY launched dedicated capsule collections; Monique Lhuillier created a line of caftans exclusively for Moda Operandi; and Net-a-Porter created a shopping campaign titled "The Ramadan Edit" for the Islamic holy month. Lower-priced retailers have followed suit, too. Does it surprise you that D & G and other fashion houses are designing these lines? Yes, in light of recent and not so recent events
