Yahoo News brings us a story of fashion designer Anniesa Hasibuan, who for two years now has been featuring the Muslim hijab, the garment that wraps around the face of Muslim women so that no one can see their hair.
The designs are elegant if a bit gaudy: there is a photo of Hasibuan in a black robe with ornate silver embroidery, and another of twenty or so fashion models looking exactly like fashion models, wearing gold and silver and laden with jewelry… except that every one of them is wearing a silver scarf covering their hair. It’s Muslim Chic, to the roars of applause from the New York fashion crowd, one or two of which, I will dare to guess, are unmarried women and gay men.
