Hijab Envy

“The straight-up-and-down featurelessness of the typical Muslim gown is in fact, the ideal canvas for a play of colours, textures, and patterns.” Exactly. As is the case with the haori and the michiyuki. Which is why I adore them. Sigh.
The pics? I *think* those are all designs from Iva Lativah. My new favorite designer. More about her here (yup, I think that’s an Indonesian website. No, I can’t read it, either).

a Muslim fashion show? Why does that seem so contradictory to me…? :D
Cool photos, though. You always have something interesting and aesthetically pleasing to share :D

heh. Well, a Christian fashion show (or fashionista) is also pretty much an oxymoron.
:-) Thanks for saying hi, Xenia!
(love your illustrations for the bulletin and so on! Livens things up in a great way!)

so many of us women have a passion for fashion. Saints maybe not. God help us all to be more saint-like, right? :-)
