Muslim Style Revolution?

By Johny Gogolac


Each women wishes for a unique style, which mirrors the woman's personality. And thinking of style for Islamic females the primary thing that arrives to mind is the Muslim hijab. The hijab in Arabic refers to a 'cover' or 'barrier'. The Muslim hijab is essentially a headscarf covering the head and the neck. Whether you wear the hijab to make a political statement, out of religious belief or just for fashion, they can make you gaze quite gorgeous and elegant. They come in a number of styles and colours that make it all the more difficult to choose one that suits you the best.

A brief internet search highlights articles on a number of Islamic model festivals and displays and a lot of websites selling Muslim apparel and delivering fashion tips., which took position in Jakarta.

Muslim girl generally wear designer labels underneath their outer clothing and increasingly they want to wear funky outerwear as well. Devout need not mean drab. Fashion designers are waking up to this need for funky Muslim apparel, and specialised stores, websites and model exhibits are springing up across the UK.

European model labels are beginning to embrace Muslim style. In June 2009 at The Saks Fifth Avenue Riyadh and Jeddah style show held at the George V hotel in Paris, top European model labels including John Galliano and Blumarine showcased models putting on couture abayas.

This has led them to consider the idea of producing designer abayas, will this mark the beginning of a new model trend for both Muslim and non Muslim woman?

The designers and merchants seem suddenly to have woken up to the fact that Muslim woman are as interested in model as any other woman, and while a cynic can put this down to the recognition of a very lucrative and as yet virtually uptapped market, a wider availability of stylish Muslim outfit must surely be good for Muslim women everywhere.

It can be that Muslim lady themselves, but well versed in the nuances and requirements of their religion, will be best equipped to introduce classic clothes to the world of high fashion.
