The step change that has been enjoyed by modern Islamic fashion in recent years means that more people than ever before are looking for the latest news and information relating to the hottest trends. Prior to the wide implementation of colours and various patterns into various Islamic styles, it was generally accepted that ‘fashion’ was not a word you could generally associate with it. However, things have moved forward so much in recent years that the ‘f word’ is now most definitely an accurate description.
Whether it is a more formal garment such as a kaftan or an abaya, the traditional hijab headdress, or any other item, they are all much different than they have been in the past. As such, they are now in high demand, and more people than ever before want to know exactly where they can get the latest news and check out the hottest trends around when it comes to Islamic fashion.
We looked at the best sources where any Muslim woman who wants to look stylish can find the information they need.
Jakarta Fashion Week
Haven’t heard of ‘JFW’ yet? Well, rest assured that in the coming years it is set to become as big a fixture on the fashion scene as the events that famously take place in New York, London, Paris, and Milan across the rest of the year. At least, that is the aim of the organisers, but with little in the way of real fashion events gracing the Far East, there is nothing to say that that won’t happen.
While not the main focus of the event, many pointers towards Islamic fashion trends can be found in Jakarta, and even the designs on show that move away from traditional dress such as kaftan dresses, for example, are often modest and would sit perfectly in any Islamic wardrobe.
If you aren’t able to jump onto an aeroplane and see this year’s instalment for yourself, then it is easy to follow online. It doesn’t take place until November, however, so you have plenty of time to start saving if you do wish to go!
Top Magazines
All around the world, magazines are a hugely popular source for finding out fashion news and trends. There are a number of bestselling magazines that are aimed at Muslim women, such as Sisters and Azizah, which will give you tips on what are the latest trends and suggest a number of outfit ideas for you to make your look even better.
Of course, you get the added bonus of enjoying the rest of the content in these magazines, too!
Islamic Fashion Websites
If you want to discover the latest and most popular fashions, the fastest way to go about it is probably to seek out a website that sells a variety of styles aimed at Muslims. Of course, some will be better than others, which you will need to judge for yourself, but whether you want to buy online or are just looking for some pointers for when you head to the shops, they can be a valuable resource.
Aab Collection is an e-commerce retailer selling Islamic clothing, such as hijab, kaftan dresses, predominantly aimed at Muslim women with multiple roles to play in today’s society. A kaftan dress is a tasteful and elegant option for a woman to wear to a job interview.
