Quadir & Co Brand Merges Old Wears With Modern Fashion

There is something about putting on clothes that matches your body type. The confidence that you feel becomes entirely different from what you are used to. You feel bold, courageous and ready to smash any goal for the day. While many women have their style, this collection’s corporate, elegant outfits have now found their place on runways, editorials, streets and the hearts of many women.

Abdul-Qadir A. Abdul-Razaq saw the need to change the fashion game and devised the plan to establish Qadir & Co. in 2019. The company is a fashion brand specialising in creating thoughtful wear for women worldwide. Quadri & Co. believe fashion is meant to be questioned, not just worn beautifully. They also believe that fashion can be refined and interpreted, which is why they excel in their craft, attracting other fashion brands to partner with them. Their design process is a non-linear one.

Before cutting, sewing and rendering, they think, observe and immerse themselves in cultural stimuli. Doing this allows them to radicalise and collapse the boundaries between the fabrics. Every garment sewn by the team is treated as an evolving sculpture open to being interpreted and adapted by the wearer. Having grown and achieved something worthwhile, the brand has expanded to other continents, aiming to penetrate countries such as South Africa, the UK, and Japan. Trends come and go, but Quadir and Co. follow the trend in style, and in the most unique way, which makes the brand uniquely different.

The 2024 collection is magical, created to elevate a woman’s look instead of overwhelming it. The designs were made to fit body sizes, big or small. And that’s what fashion is about: capturing and attracting everyone with its glitz and transformative outlook. The best maxi gown, corporate pants, and blouse strike a delicate balance loved by women of class and style. And that’s the trend, where everyone wants to show up with simplicity and luxury.

After spending quality and productive time crafting these outfits, they came out with something outstanding, creating something new from the old styles. This year’s collection is about versatility and presence. It’s a way of telling the brand’s story without saying it so loudly. From the beautiful and colourful fabrics to the detailed sewing, the pieces in this collection reflect power and boldness.

Let’s look at the outfits below, and of course, feel free to make a choice.

This outfit shows that Quadir & Co. understands the different kinds of fabric suitable for each style. The fabric is 100% quality, revealing the brand’s purpose and identity. This is known through every stitch and thread knitted to form the design.

The round-neck blouse with a beautiful striped fabric shows confidence and boldness. The brand understood the assignment of designing universal wear because it delivered. One unique thing that usually stands out in the blouse is the hand. It may look big and oversized, but upon closer inspection, it proves to be innovative, suitable for a boss chic, and, of course, appropriate to be tagged as a sustainable cloth.

The colourful stripes of the fabric are what make the beauty of the overall design pop. Without it, it would be less attractive and flat. The drawstring on the sides of the blouse creates a vivid impression of the woman who wears it. It shows their softness and attention to detail on the designer’s part. The striped print blouse, paired with ash silk pants, catches the eyes of fashion lovers, revealing a lot about the designer’s values. It might seem like a typical kind of pants; however, combining the trousers with the blouse isn’t common. Such pants will usually be worn with a T-shirt. But here’s another interesting combination that goes well, anytime.

While this is a great look, there are some loopholes that, if considered by the designer, will come out well and be suitable for every market in the world. Some countries are extremely warm. No woman would want to wear a turtle neck during summer. Using this fabric, a stylish blouse can be designed for hot seasons.

The drawstring straps can remain by the side, but the turtle neck and long arms can be replaced with a V-neck or a lower round neck, while the arms can be replaced with short sleeves. Another drawback is the choice of footwear. A wardrobe needs this and can be recommended to anyone from any class.

Styling Recommendation: Minimal accessories will complement the outfit and make the look stand out. It could be a silver wristwatch and a bracelet. The shoes should match the accessories, giving them that glittery and shiny vibe. This is because accessorising an outfit is inseparable regardless of how a cloth is sewn, especially for people who always love to appear classic and chic.

Glam and ease come to mind when this dress appears on your screen. Apart from the top-notch fabric, which is undeniably 100 % quality, the way it was sewn says something about change. Change is a constant, we all know that, and this dress reflects just that. It reflects the change from a casual outfit to breathtaking dinner wear, especially with the slanted three-step design. Starting with the neckline, the designer’s choice of V-neck was perfect. It complements the gown’s armless sleeves, making it suitable to be called casual. A captivating match between the fabric and the model’s skin makes the overall outlook more colourful and enticing.

Another element that elevates the dress is the three-step cut, which is slanted to the bottom part of the dress. Usually, cuts like these are sewn like a straight line. But this is different. It is slanted, like a slightly curved shape, bringing out the dress’s beauty. Another spectacular thing about the three-step is the ruffles. It could have been tailored straight, but when it comes to choosing what to wear for a vacation, a dinner date, or even a Friday night dinner, this is your go-to dress.

There would be no need for a pair of shoes, because the gown’s length covers the toes. Now, picture the glamorous sight of entering that restaurant for an exquisite date with this piece on. Or picture staring at this dress on a runway stage. It will undoubtedly be a beautiful feeling.

However, this dress can better match the outfit with the right attachments. Try sewing beads to the V-neck neckline or attaching a different material colour to the hemline of the three-step cut. This would have made it more appealing to a broader audience, as different attachment mixtures on a dress appeal to women more than a plain, natural cut.

Styling Recommendation: Experiment with this dress in a different fabric colour. And remember that the most flattering dress showcases your personality and identity. To avoid a flat look, accessorising this outfit is your best bet. Wear a gold necklace, bracelet, and wristwatch to make a bold statement.

This is an excellent piece from the 2024 collections. It’s a garment with a perfect colour choice. Wearing this outfit can set the tone for the day. It can boost confidence and make a woman feel ready for anything, smashing any big mountain. The neckline feels like the model wore a T-shirt to the top. But instead, it was sewn together with the blouse. And that’s the clothes dynamics. The collar style doesn’t create even a little revelation of the skin, making it look suitable for summer. The sleeves resemble a hanger that has multiple colours.

From the shoulder to almost the elbow, it features a single type of fabric, while the remaining part is made of striped material sewn like an oversized T-shirt, ensuring a snug fit around the wrist. The back view is just like the front view in terms of style. It has no zip that runs from the upper part of the back to a point close to the waist. Matching the blouse are wide-leg pants that make for a stylish outlook. This is the kind of dress that resonates with classic and beautiful women. It is a garment with unique, creative styles that can spark conversations at a corporate gathering. This can also be worn to runway events and exclusive entertainment shows. It will fit with a religious gathering and still be acceptable for official meetings.

Even though there is room for improvement, the stitching and tailoring of this wear are commendable.

Styling Recommendation: It can be worn with a white or black clutch bag and other accessories that match your fashion taste. Aside from heels, the outfit can be paired with a loafer for making smart moves and walking with ease.

All the fashion pieces in this collection are beautifully designed with the modern woman in mind. They are garments that speak class and luxury, promoting elegance and femininity. Quadir & Co. redefines luxury by creating a forever experience for each client.
