11 Muslim Women in the Fashion-Beauty Industry Reveal Their Style Icons
The fashion world has started making space for Muslim women over the past few years, and it's about time. We've seen increased representation of Muslims at New York fashion week, and in the beauty world online. Model Halima Aden has become a household name, released her own headscarves and sparked a conversation about what it means to be a Muslim woman in fashion. What used to be one-off occurrences have become more and more commonplace with Muslim designers, entrepreneurs, and influencers making worldwide headlines every month.
Megastars of the Halima-variety aside, Muslim women are leaving their mark on the industry every day in various capacities, at all levels, and not solely in modest or Muslim-focused markets. From holding it down in executive positions at established brands to forging their own paths as intrepid entrepreneurs, these women exhibit unique perspectives, diverse backgrounds, and of course, fierce style. In the spirit of empowering one another, we asked dynamic Muslim women working in beauty and fashion to share the inspirational women they call style icons.
