“Hijabistas” trying to forge an indigenous British Islamic identity

Perched on a stool in a cavernous warehouse in north London, a model with bright blue eye make-up carefully adjusts her top as a photographer works the light around her. She is dressed in a beautiful, sleek, black satin shirt, topped off with a simple, unadorned hood.

As the photographer lifts up his camera, the model brings the hood up to cover the back half of her head. “That’s it,” he says, as the flash fires. “Beautiful.”

Welcome to the world inhabited by the “Hijabistas”, a trendy set of up and coming Muslim fashion designers who are doing their bit to forge an indigenous British Islamic identity.

“I like to think my clothes would appeal to anyone,” she says. “There a great potential for crossover.”

“Islam has a really amazing definition of beauty,” she says.

She converted to Islam while studying fashion at a college in Exeter.
