Muslim fashion designer Anniesa Hasibuan is making history

Last season, Muslim fashion designer Anniesa Hasibuan made headlines as she became the first ever designer to feature hijabs in every outfit of her collection.

Now, at a time when what Muslim women choose to wear is causing debate and multiple brands are deciding to make political statements via their shows, Hasibuan is making history once again.

Unveiling her second collection amid controversy over US President Donald Trump’s recent order on immigration, the Muslim designer decided to cast her show entirely with immigrants and second-generation children of immigrants.

Hasibuan, however, claims that her work is first and foremost geared toward Muslim women and not a reaction to politics.

Hasibuan says her shows prove that “fashion is for everybody"

“I'm here bringing the beautiful voice of the Muslim women, the peace and the universal values that fashion can offer,” she told AFP.

In just two seasons, the Indonesian Muslim designer has successfully made the hijab her trademark, bringing it into the mainstream and insisting that “fashion is for everybody.”

“There is beauty in diversity and differences , something we should not be afraid of,” she added.

Hasibuan isn’t the only designer looking to break down stereotypes in the fashion industry though.

For Yeezy Season 5, Kanye West cast hijab-wearing Somali-American model Halima Aden to make her runway debut at New York Fashion Week.

The 19-year-old first made headlines back in November after competing in Minnesota’s Miss USA competition while wearing a hijab and proudly modelling a burkini for the swimsuit portion.

Now, she’s breaking the boundaries of beauty and perception and is fast becoming an icon within the industry.

Sensual and Shunga is LP33.3 Inspired

The Australian label LP33.3 is an exceptional fashion brand praising femininity with all attributes from the designs to the use of fabrication. The latest collection for the Spring 2012 season is highly inspired by evocative Shunga woodblock prints originating from 18th century Japanese heritage, and the sculpture work of Australian artist Rosalie Gascoigne.

 Titled with the poetic name “The White Sun”, the collection hallmarks the fascination over Gascoigne’s works expressing the symbolic meaning of weather beauty on large-scale installations with polarized hues and sharp lines equivalently illustrating brazen modernity. The collection portrays the essence of nature, light reflections, and the relationship between air and space through the languid and fluid shape of fabrics. The intimacy of ensembles plays a vital role with the emphasis on movement swathing the body. It seems like the apparel subtly moves and envelops the body with every step.

 

Such a body–garment relationship is flawlessly translated by the inspiration taken from erotic Japanese woodblock prints with characteristic “state of undress”. This is a very suggestive feature of covered/uncovered parts of the body outlining the intimacy and mysterious sensuality. It can be an exposed leg or bare shoulder portrayed by quite a nonchalant way of dressing. It may have quite a seductive power when composed with liquid silk layers, delicate mesh of lace or a restructured form of kimono. The selection of lightweight and soft fabrics – sand-wash silk, billowing organza, flowing washed georgettes, Swiss cotton voile compose very sensual element as well. While delicate net lace and sheer wool gauze accentuate the diaphanous effect.

Another crucial point is hidden in the palette of the collection setting bold color blocking, graphic distinction and subtle, pastel tones of rich neutrals. As a result, there is a division of concept between nature-inspired sculptures by Rosalie Gascoigne and the shades of pure whites and earth neutrals commonly used in woodblock techniques. What is mesmerizing, the collection that is brimful with womanly power consists of silhouettes that form a blend of masculine tailoring and relaxed feminine form. With the day–to–night approach the clothing has a versatile touch adjusting to the circumstance of dress code.

H&M for men next year

Despite the fact that winter 2011 is yet to begin and that the fast fashion retail model depends on getting you excited about what’s in store now not at a distant point in the future, H&M have already revealed their interpretation of men’s spring 2012 fashion.

So what’s does the retailer have in store for guys for the season?

Plenty that feels familiar and plenty that is heavily influenced by the year’s emerging menswear trends.

Thus you’ll find relaxed cuts sitting alongside slim ones. The quality of the casual tailoring certainly doesn’t look like anything to write home about, but visually it presents good overtones of the 1920s fashion revival we’re expecting. Even further down the relaxed-fashion ladder you’ll find plenty of early season outerwear, with cropped parkas a strong look for the season. The strongest visuals, however, lie in two key areas: a much needed continuation of this season’s burned colour trend and a heavy injection of tailored shorts extending into short suits. Tailored shorts and short suits are a much needed element of a chap’s wardrobe for scorching days of high-summer, and few fast-fashion brands approach them from the right angle. H&M certainly have.
