Sacrosanct

I usually hate these specials on Muslim women and faith and fashion. Basically every article or special says, “Muslim women sometimes have trouble finding modest clothing, but many have been successful in mixing faith and fashion.”

Not that I hate the message, it just gets so repetitive. So some of us buy normal clothes. Get over it.

But this special I liked more than most because it seemed balanced. For one, I know one of the girls personally(Ayah :) )

and two, for a change they featured a non-hijabi as well. In the beginning they even featured some niqabis. :)

It seems they showed a more realistic picture of what Muslim women really are these days, a little bit of everyone.

I was also pleased to see that they showed the conservative opinion too. Ingrid Mattson came on and said that usually the objective of fashion is to be showy and have people look at you and the opinion that going too much into fashion is walking a fine line. It was finally refreshing to see the more conservative opinion as well.

I wish we could watch the whole thing, but on youtube, it’s in 5 parts of about 30 second each which makes it annoying to watch.

Here’s the first part.
