Hijab-Islam


Though I am not a Muslim, I always had a liking towards Islam and their culture..
I love the beautiful tradition and custom that they follow and have always been astonished by their powerful belief on Allah..
 In reference to Fashion, Islam has influenced me to a great extend..
I admire the extraordinary art style that every Muslim posses.. From, the Mughal architecture to the graceful hand-art works of women...












                       


Particularly... HIJAB :
                                    Hijab is a veil which covers the hair and neck. Is a customary part of dress worn by Muslim women.
In Islam, the custom of wearing a Hijab has a wider meaning of modesty, privacy, and morality. This custom is still been practiced by all Muslim women ..
Islamic Fashion has always been an unique part of fashion...
Like any culture, Islam has also made its way to fashion without losing its Modesty ....
According to me, A hejab not only holds the morality of the women..But, makes any women look beautiful ..
Which is probably why, I like Hejab and the most gifted Rabia zargarpur who deemed "modesty is always in style". 

 Rabia Z., A successful designer from The United Arabs designed to create solutions for women who want to be moderate yet modern, Rabia bench-marked the concept of ‘conservative chic’, becoming the first brand to produce prĂȘt-a-couture ranges catering to niche needs of the ever evolving 96 Billion US$ Islamic wear market.

These are some of her signature Hejab... (And my favorites too )

  1. Interesting finds. Also good to note your interest in the hijab.
    How difficult is it to do a spell check?
