Muslim designer Anniesa Hasibuan made history this week.

In a country where Muslim women have been fired and rejected from college for wearing a hijab, it’s refreshing to see New York Fashion Week embrace the religious article in a big way.

Muslim Indonesian designer Anniesa Hasibuan made history on Monday with a dazzling show featuring hijabs accompanying all 48 outfits. As the show ended, she received a standing ovation from a largely non-Muslim audience.

The fashion industry has become increasingly interested in promoting Islamic styles. For the last decade, Spanish fashion company MANGO has released a collection themed for Ramadan every year, and brands like Uniqlo, H&M and Dolce & Gabbana have followed suit.

But according to Elle, no other show at NYFW before Hasibuan’s had featured hijabs in every outfit.

Fashion brand Haute Hijab shared its enthusiasm for Hasibuan’s NYFW show on Facebook Tuesday night, writing:

“I believe fashion is one of the outlets in which we can start that cultural shift in today’s society to normalize hijab in America so as to break down stereotypes and demystify misconceptions. Last night’s show was a huge leap forward in that direction. Anniesa – thank you for the courage and strength to keep your designs and models true to your beliefs and not giving in to the pressure – you made history and we love you.”

  1. I tell so many times here about women’s dressing in Islam.
    Most of Islamic Clerics still follow the ancient Islamic clerics interpretation of Quran 33;59, 24;31. Women have to cover their head, hands and feet (most of whole body )

    So Burqa, Hijab, or Veil is not the Islamic dressing code, but the Arab traditional dress who live in desert at ancient times.
    There are two reasons why women wear burqa:
    1. In order women can not be abducted or be kidnapped by enemy for sex-slave.
    2.In order women can not be harmed by storm sand.

    So those who women who live in United States of America, Europe and other non Islam countries do not need to wear Hijab. Do not feel guilty if you do not wear Hijab in public place.

    Because of NOT Allah’s law, create women’s problem in this world, Many people , non Muslim do not feel save or peace if they see women’s who wear Burqa, Hijab etc

    Whereas Islam is religion of Peace and blessing for all people.
    I urge all women who live in United States and Europe please do not wear Hijab or Burqa in Public place.
