The most disgusting thing is the Title of this slideshow….
Recommend
so lady gaga and disgusting !
Recommend
Useless! Disgusting! Nasty! etc etc..
Recommend
looks like these models got some sort of weird skin disease on their faces.
Recommend
These jewel niqaabs look ugly as it can get
Recommend
IMO, its a mockery of ‘Veil’
Recommend
Comparing this crap to a niqaab is in bad taste. ET please don’t ridicule Islam by comparing two unrelated things that are worn for very different reasons.
Recommend
Is this going to be banned in France?
Recommend
This ugly thing is only suitable for Hannibal Lecter ( fictional Cannibal) and likes! or may be used as ornament for Pakistani trucks and buses.
Recommend
Stupidity and even more stupid title
Recommend
Ultimately, they will reveal that the best way to present a women is the “Islamic way”!!
Recommend
Now rich muslim women can use them as naqabs!

@mfg hUSAAIN:
stupidest comment….

@ above comments :– Patriarchal society and hypocrisy at it’s best. ..If men can wear their fashionable bolyywood/hollywood style cloths. women have full rights to wear fashionable veil.
Recommend
Bizzare n Scary :S
Recommend
interesting….

Fashion industry can indulge in what they please, and carry on with their all-sorts-of-crazies. But to relate something so horrid to something as sacred as ‘niqab’ is a downright offence to Muslims in general, and women in Particular. It’s alright if the “divas” now want to wrap around their faces in gold and silver, so long as they don’t compare it to a niqab, because that’s a completely different business. A lot of people may not understand or agree with the whole concept of veiling one’s face, which is fine really. So long as you don’t go around trying to revolutionize the system with your ‘open-mindedness’, this is just like poking fun at the women who do niqab.

the jewellary is gud but the way it is presented is way too scaryRecommend
These masks have no relation to niqabs. It’s for a fashion week where you push the boundaries of modern fashion. If it didn’t look extreme the diluted versions of clothes from the cat walk you all wear would be washed out grey bags…
Fantastic pieces.
No connection with religion.
Haters be hatin’

Gross. London fashion week ALLOWED this? terrible.
Recommend
Eye rape
Recommend
I think this is more effective than a niqab because a niqab protects one from predators but this will scare them away !
Recommend
People who think that niqab or hijab protects them from rape should think again. Most women raped or tortured in muslim countries are usually the ones who wear the hijab/niqab. Please take your heads out of the sand.
Recommend
ET is good in defaming anything related to Islam. Now its Niqab. They could have posted this even without the word Niqab.
Recommend
@Ali:
Fascist Liberals are at helm of ET. Leaving all religions aside, their only target is Islam
Recommend
@Ali
@Zeta
It’s not rocket science.ET is a Pakistani newspaper and they are doing their bit against religious bigotry.I would expect and welcome British/US and Indian newspapers to do the same against Christian and Hindu bigotry.
A sensible way to counter their views/opinions is to write an article of opposing view.
