Fashioning Faith
At the intersections of faith and fashion, designers explore what it means to be young, female and Muslim in today’s America. Synopsis:
Muslim clothing designers in New York City struggle to combine high fashion with a high sense of piety. Their designs aim to stay true to Islamic principles of feminine modesty while attempting to break into a fashion scene marked more by exposed shoulders than covered hair. In the process these young women designers are redefining what it means to be a modern Muslim in contemporary America.
