Lanuuk, the London-based modest swimwear and resortwear label founded by Katleya Nielsen and Ayesha Mahomed, has been redefining modest fashion since 2018. And at Aquarabia, Qiddiya City, it launched Soleil - the brand's Spring/Summer 2026 collection, presented through an exclusive fashion show at Wave Wadi, timed perfectly to mark the official opening of Aquarabia's Ladies Season. As the destination's Official Provider of Modest Swimwear, the partnership between Lanuuk and Aquarabia is built on a shared belief that world-class leisure spaces should be designed for every woman, without compromise.

 

Drawing inspiration from the magic of early mornings by the sea, Soleil captures what the brand describes as "a journey from grounding stillness to radiant emergence." The collection opens with timeless, earth-toned silhouettes - pieces that reflect strength, versatility and intention, before transitioning into a softer palette of pastels and sun-warmed hues that reflect the colours of dawn. Twenty-four curated looks, designed by Nielsen and Mahomed, move seamlessly between swim and resortwear, each one reflecting Lanuuk's philosophy: modesty, timeless design and the quiet power of self-expression. 

The brand describes each piece as reflecting "the evolving journey of the modern woman - confident, intentional and unapologetically individual." At Aquarabia, surrounded by water, energy, and the ambitious scale of Qiddiya City, that description felt absolutely on point. Fashion, live performances and an evening that built from ambient beginnings through headline acts to a night-time finale made this feel so much more than a fashion show. It was a nod to culture.

Modest fashion in this region has been telling its own story for some time, and Soleil has just presented a beautiful chapter.
