ASIATODAY.ID, JAKARTA — A new milestone in Indonesia’s modest fashion scene has been achieved through a powerful collaboration between two iconic names: TAQEEYA, a pioneer in premium Muslim womenswear whose 18 years of dedication earned the title of Best Abaya Brand at the prestigious Istanbul Halal Expo 2024, an event held in Istanbul, Turkey that highlights excellence in the global halal industry.
This award marks a significant moment of international recognition for the Taqeeya brand. Joining forces with TAQEEYA is AYU DYAH ANDARI, a celebrated modestwear designer who has showcased her artistry on some of the world’s most prominent runways, including New York Fashion Week 2023, London Fashion Week 2023, and Paris Fashion Air 2024. She is affectionately known as the Lady of Rose for her signature rose-inspired design motifs.
This collaboration is more than the meeting of two celebrated names; it is the union of two creative visions devoted to producing sharia-compliant fashion that radiates luxury, grace, and artistic beauty. It brings together TaQeeya’s signature silent-luxury black elegance with Ayu Dyah Andari’s delicate rose detailing, crafting a visual narrative that embodies the strength, softness, and nobility of women.
Inspired by the rare character of the black diamond — calm yet powerful, elegant without seeking the spotlight — this collection speaks volumes through its quiet beauty. It evokes the essence of a queen wrapped in understated elegance, expressed through four captivating color palettes: two soft pastels and two bold, luxurious signature tones.
The materials chosen for this collaboration are equally exceptional. Taqeeya’s signature black fabric, known for its high quality, fluid drape, breathability, non-sheer nature, and ironless finish, has been specially developed and paired with intricate embroidery by Ayu Dyah Andari.
This time, the embroidery elevates the artistry even further — combining the eternal symbolism of roses, a recurring inspiration in Ayu Dyah Andari’s work, with original sharia-compliant silhouettes from Taqeeya, enriching every garment with depth and meaning.
Enggar Rahardjo, Founder of TAQEEYA, said for 18 years, TaQeeya has remained committed to creating Muslim womenswear that not only observes religious guidelines but also serves as a symbol of elegance and dignity.
“Our collections are known for their distinctive designs and strong detailing, all wrapped in what we proudly call silent luxury. Black Diamond represents the culmination of that journey — a symbol of a Muslim woman’s strength wrapped in modest yet luxurious elegance,” Enggar shared during the press conference on Tuesday, August 5, 2025.
Ayu Dyah Andari added this collaboration is a harmonious blend of two worlds — where two strong identities come together to create something not only beautiful, but also meaningful.
“We’ve combined our signature roses with the powerful sharia-compliant black character of TaQeeya,” she said.
More than a fashion collection, BLACK DIAMOND is a philosophy in form — proving that clothing can express strength, softness, and nobility all at once.
Every piece in the collection is born from a deep appreciation for the highest form of artistic expression: Taqeeya’s luxury syar’i identity — rooted in the philosophy of piety, emphasizing originality, elegance, and perfection in every detail.

This collaboration emerged from mutual admiration between the two designers.
Enggar Rahardjo expressed: “I have long admired Ayu Dyah Andari’s work. The roses she incorporates are more than mere embellishments — they are living art. For me, this collaboration is an honor and a testament that two distinct worlds can merge in perfect harmony: sharia-black and signature roses.”
In return, Ayu Dyah Andari shared her admiration: “TaQeeya has such a strong identity. Their black garments are not only beautiful but also a bold statement of elegance within the boundaries of sharia. Their designs are always special, unique, and full of luxurious aura. This collaboration feels like painting a harmony between the strength of black and the softness of roses.”
