It's just one of the outlets in which we make a cultural shift in today's society to normalize hijab in America - to break down stereotypes and demystify misconceptions. Last nights' show was a huge leap in that direction." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nyfw-makes-history/page/2#post-1727938 Fri, 16 Sep 2016 12:48:53 +0000 Elizabeth P 1727938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely stunning, tfs Angie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nyfw-makes-history/page/2#post-1727933 Fri, 16 Sep 2016 12:40:39 +0000 MTBGirl 1727933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunningly beautiful!

That outfit is a terrific take on neutrals and I love the bling-y glasses! I don't encounter this sort of fashion much in my daily life but when I do I always notice the fabrics.&nbsp;The lines and shapes are usually simple and the women are covered up,&nbsp;in keeping with their values, so their style focuses on fabrics, draping, &nbsp;and color combinations.&nbsp;I once walked near a woman in an airport with a simple outfit in taupe and black and it was only when I got close to her that I noticed the truly stunning fabric.</p> <p>Thanks for posting this Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nyfw-makes-history/page/2#post-1727902 Fri, 16 Sep 2016 11:59:35 +0000 RobinF 1727902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this!

It creates a more flattering profile, even though it comes at the expense of hair tugging. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nyfw-makes-history#post-1727812 Fri, 16 Sep 2016 03:06:16 +0000 Alexandra 1727812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The outfit doesn't float my boat, but that scarf is gorgeous. Such a pretty color. I'm a sucker for scarves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nyfw-makes-history#post-1727811 Fri, 16 Sep 2016 02:52:00 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1727811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a lot of fun checking out Istanbul fashion. Might have been 2012 or 2013. Angie, there were a lot of Turkish women with what looked like a bun under their scarves, high on the back of their heads. It was rather elegant. Usually I have seen more close fitting hijabi looks with hair pinned flat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nyfw-makes-history#post-1727802 Fri, 16 Sep 2016 02:42:16 +0000 Bonnie 1727802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a beautiful outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nyfw-makes-history#post-1727801 Fri, 16 Sep 2016 02:42:10 +0000 Mauvish 1727801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>her glasses are killing me !!!! ahhh... i love them.&nbsp;</p> <p>Like Suz said, the subtle sheen and drape is amazing. Although the girls are adorned but there is lovely softness in the pictures.</p> <p>Thanks for sharing Angie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nyfw-makes-history#post-1727800 Fri, 16 Sep 2016 02:39:20 +0000 Jaime 1727800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this year's fashion week has made remarkable strides in diversity. There has also been a bigger variety of sizes, ages, heights, and colors than I remember seeing since I started looking at these shows a few years ago. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nyfw-makes-history#post-1727796 Fri, 16 Sep 2016 02:20:56 +0000 Windchime 1727796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, that's beautiful!

I had to look up what you were referring to. I did see that there! I thought they must have really long hair, but maybe not. We visited the New Mosque and were sitting on some steps outside, and the young woman in picture 2 squeezed in next to me. I think she wanted to interact with a foreigner. We didn't really talk though, because she didn't speak English and I don't speak Turkish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nyfw-makes-history#post-1727786 Fri, 16 Sep 2016 01:48:38 +0000 Thistle 1727786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inclusivity is always welcome.</p> <p>I remember reading an article a few months ago talking about the purchasing power of Muslim women that was being "left on the table" because high end fashion didn't serve them. Glad to see someone filling that need. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nyfw-makes-history#post-1727785 Fri, 16 Sep 2016 01:48:14 +0000 Angie 1727785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's the spirit, ladies. Love your enthusiasm Kaelyn and Toban.&nbsp;</p> <p>UmmLila, that's fascinating. Do you mean when the bun is low on the back of the head?&nbsp;</p> <p>Suz, you're dead right about the unstoppable influence of street style.&nbsp;</p> <p>JAileen, fun pics.&nbsp; </p>
