Entry: Fashion & Islam? Monday, November 07, 2005



Goodness, long time no blog eh?  Life's been crazy here.

I found an article on MSN today about the fashion industry's latest attempts at selling to wealthy Muslim women who choose hijab, which generally means wearing a scarf on their head and for some it includes wearing abayas (full-length gown things).

I think it's pretty neat that they are coming up with cute ways for Muslim women to obey their convictions while still looking cute. (Tho with the kind of prices they charge, I could pay the adoption fees to adopt a foreign orphan!!!! LOL)

Anyone else have an opinion? 

The author had a neat quote in the article... "I'm a Muslim woman, but I don't cover my hair except when I go into mosques with a hoodie over my head in a look I call "ghetto hijab.""

Ghetto hijab!!!!! Hahaha I love that!
