Hijab Style on the BBC

A little while ago I met up with Muslimah designers Sarah Elenany and Hana Tajima-Simpson for an interview with Shaimaa Khalil, a journalist from the BBC World Service. Here's the finished piece:

Muslim designers mix the hijab with latest fashions

How do you combine Western fashion with a Muslim dress code?

Fashion is a form of self-expression. It's all about experimenting with looks and, in many cases, attracting attention.

The Islamic headscarf, or hijab, is exactly the opposite. It's about modesty and attracting as little attention as possible.

However, a growing number of Muslim women are successfully blending the two.

P.S. Hijab Style will be bringing you a very special post about Hana's designs soon - watch this space!
