In metropolitan cities like Londen, Amsterdam and New York, is the street in recent years brightened by mipsters (muslim + hipster) they conquer the streets and social media worldwide.
They are usually women who love fashion, art and creativity, but also want to live according to Islamic traditions. I have sometimes asked myself; because the muslim women wear a hijab they don’t want to stand out, right? But then I had to admit that I can’t judge here because I actually know to little about their religion.
I think it is important that everyone can be who he or she wants to be. I see them as an inspiration in terms of style and I would check their blogs just like I do with others.
The multicultural approach to beauty is in line with the trend transparency. They won’t let them held back by what others think, they make their own choices and show who they want to be.
The hipster-video from several years back has caused uproar in the American Muslim community. What does it mean to be Muslim in a western society? Can a muslim dress herself as western as she wants? The makers of ‘Somewhere in America’ think so.
The trend has been going on for a longer period, but a few days ago it was announced that Dolce & Gabbana has designed traditional dresses for female Muslims.
Dolce & Gabbana is the first coutoure house that is launching the first clothing line for Muslim Women with hijabs and abayas, headscarves and covering long dresses. A breaktrough for Muslim women, and an economically smart move by the fashion house. ‘The exuberant clothes from Dolce & Gabbana suits the Arab woman’.
With the collection, the fashion brand combines it’s extravagant Sicilian character with the traditional Arabian dress.
Earlier H&M already pleaded for diversity. They did this by the end of September with launching an advertising campaign in which a model was wearing a headscarf. When you show Muslims in a normal context, it will contribute to the acceptance of the group, said civil rights lawyer Ibrahim Hooper then.
