HIPSTER HIJABIS

Muslim women all over the world, who are typically more fashion revolved, have begun to make themselves a name in the fashion world. It's called the "Hipster Hijabi's". Hijab's are an Islamic headscarf commonly worn by muslim women, and are often looked down upon in the western community. Although, after this movement on the popular social media site, Instagram, hijabi's are really starting to make a stand in the fashion industry.

These women fuse their sense of fashion with their faith, by reinterpreting the meaning of dressing conservatively. This growing group of women can be found on Instagram under the name of 'hipsterhijabis'. The brand they're representing does not only apply to Muslim women, as they are often seen dressed with modesty, but can also apply to conservative Christian and Orthodox Jewish women.

"We want to be current in fashion and adhere to the tenets of our faith," said Ibtihaj Muhammad, owner of fashion brand Louella, who cater to modest dressing combined with fashion.
