America, Can We Join The Club?: The Muslim Fashion Scene


The pressure is on! Since my 2011 entry to the American Muslim fashion scene and my sincere dedication to learning about it, I have come to see the lack of many things and unfortunately the very little or no support at all for the Muslimwear industry in America from the mainstream fashion world and its media followers. I have also come to learn that the same problems that mainstream fashion is facing such as replicas and copyright infringements are also being faced in the Muslimwear industry community. Their neglectful ways proves how tight the mainstream fashion club scene is here in America or maybe how different we are. But, most importantly I have witnessed the rapid growth of American Muslim designers and the increasing interest of international Muslim and non-Muslim designers meeting the demand of specific dress needs for Muslim woman in America in various forms such as in fashion shows.
