#hijab fashion
It’s been awhile since I’ve been active on my tumblr page how is everyone doing? I missed you all
Hey my lovelies Is anyone still active on tumblr?? It’s been awhile.
[image id: A female figure in a multicolored hijab with bright pastels, the sleeves of their dress are layered puff sleeves that go down to the wrists in similar colors. They are in a deep blue colored robe dress that slightly splits in the middle revealing a slightly lavender under dress underneath.]
A little more self indulgence as I design something new with more colors. I really like those old poof sleeves of the Renaissance and I kind of forwarded it here while still looking through Pelangi’s fashion works.

[image id: A female figure who is standing, looking ahead towards the viewer with their right arm bent and holding their left arm that hangs at their side. They are garbed in a teal dress with dark patterned sleeves and black gloves. There is an arrangement of yellow tassels in an upside down triangle at the front of the dress that also spreads to the shoulders. Wrapped in a light blue hijab, the covering also wraps around a headpiece similar to a fez.]
This design is based on the Fall 2019 Indonesian Diversity collection by Dian Pelangi during New York Fashion week where she designed pieces that were both a love letter to Indonesian culture but also New York itself. She has a way of combining really beautiful batik patterns with a modern sleek silhouette and style.
My interpretation is a more subdued color palette, but I’d highly also recommend checking out more of her fashion pieces. A lot of her work is considered at the forefront for modern Muslim fashion and I can definitely see why.
Side note about the headpiece and treatment of the hijab – it is a nod to medieval women headwear which I thought was neat! Specifically the fillet (headpiece) and barbette (linen wrap). If you’ve watched Game of Thrones, Olenna Tyrell is often seen in one similar.

Their hijab is also wrapped around a white fur cowl and with yellow robes with burnt orange cuffs with triangular designs. On their shoulders is a fur cloak that is hooked with a golden chain at the front.]
I used to not like yellow but now that I know how to work with it, I really like it. With the weather getting colder, I was thinking of something warm to wear.

I came across a great find at Half Price Books called “Contemporary Muslim Fashions”. Going to be reading it more thoroughly and designing things based on the book this month, should be a really great study!

Meet Hijarbie, The Mini Hijab-Wearing Fashionista
24-year-old Haneefah Adam of Nigeria, wasn’t seeing any Barbies dressed in the same way she did — wearing modest clothing that covers the body. So she started an Instagram account, called Hijarbie where she showcases Barbie in a variety of hand-sewn modest outfits and hijabs.
“I want to inspire the Muslim girl. It’s about having a doll that looks like her, that represents her own cultural and religious background”
“It’s important to create a sense of value in the Muslim child, especially the girl child,” Adam told Mic. “They become more confident, more driven, they believe more in themselves, which leads to an appreciation of herself and her modest lifestyle and upbringing. Instead of dressing up her dolls in clothes she wouldn’t wear, hijabifying it will create a sense of belonging and hopefully make a positive impact.“
