New York Fashion Week: Anniesa Hasibuan designer showcases all-hijabi show

Indonesian designer showcases the first all hijabi show at New York Fashion Week *** The lack of diversity in the fashion industry is still a serious issue. And it’s one that always becomes glaringly obvious at fashion weeks, where runways can be a sea of white, faces and thin models. But there are designers who are changing things. Not through big stunts or campaigns, but simply by creating clothing for the women that major brands all too often overlook. Anniesa Hasibuan is one of those designers. This week, Anniesa debuted the first all-hijabi runway to appear at New York Fashion Week. This is a pretty huge deal. Not just for Anniesa personally, who only started designing one year ago, but for all the Muslim women who haven’t felt represented in the world of high fashion. | Metro News via IFTTT
