I got an email from a friend in the middle east, A Hijabist and big BBC fan, she told me that my fashion was biased and cannot be applied everywhere and I asked..'what areas cant it be applied?' she said,' in the Muslim world.' This was half inspired by her, a Hijabista. I think fashion should be limitless, to whomever and wherever, and at all prices. And in the Muslim nations, what I Call for is Hijab Houte Couture....because every woman should be fashionable, religion or not. Fashion calls for self-expression and attracting attention but the Islamic headscarf, or hijab, is exactly the opposite. It's about modesty and attracting as little attention as possible.A vast number of Muslim women are fashion conscious blending their hijabs with the latest trends, and they give it a hijab-friendly twist - making sure that everything except the face and hands are covered.They are known as Hijabistas. Today I'm honoring the Hijabistas for doing a remarkable job and giving them a nod with my Hijab high fashion/Haute Couture piece...

Jana says one of the reasons why so many young Muslim women are reading hijab fashion blogs is that the Muslim fashion industry is lacking inspiration.

In the beginning, she found it very hard to find her own style while following hijab Hana regularly blogs about her designs at Style Covered . While all her clothes are suitable for women who wear the hijab, she says she doesn't design with a specific group of people in mind. rules.
Designer Sarah Elenany's clothes are quite different from Hana's - more urban sporty.
