I absolutely adore this photograph. The colours are brilliant. She ahs such a genuine looking smile on her face and her outfit looks summery and comfy. Just beautiful!
@caraboska: 'old-fashioned' ?? I don't quite aree with this description, on the contrary, i would say she's a modern muslima of her age. To go out in a flowing maxi dress.. Its cool to see that women can adopt fashion into lives whilst still being modest :)
Mashallah. There is something really special about this picture. It says many things to me personally. Even to begin explaining it would take away from the experience of simply enjoying it.
Hijabs High is inspired by the stylish and dynamic global community of Muslim women who fuse their identities and pronounce their place in the world everyday through beauty and fashion.
It is my hope that this blog inspires, motivates and encourages Muslims and non-Muslims alike to revisit their perceptions of the "look" of Muslim women who wear the veil and encourage us all to be a little bit more fabulous.
To the chic gang of Hijabs High photographers - you know who you are - thanks for doing it all with grace and panache. :)
Finally, Hijabs High owes a debt to The Sartorialist, who first helped focus our cameras on the everyday. Thank you.
