MODEST FASHIONISTAS BIG DAY OUT!

Saturday 17 November 2012

Mya Arifin & Delina Darusman-Gala

Discover the modest fashionistas at the forefront of a burgeoning fashion market in Australia, as we spring into a new summer season of style. Dress up and take part in a fun day of fashion talks, workshops and demonstrations at the Powerhouse for one day only!

Meet and hear talks by a vibrant group of Sydney-based entrepreneurs who are designing and selling clothes to a growing number of Muslim (and non-Muslim women) who want to dress fashionably, while still expressing their faith.

Learn the different ways that the hijab can be worn and creatively tied.

Explore the tradition of the mehendi – from adorning brides’ hands to creating hip, temporary tattoos on arms and bellies – while an artist creates a contemporary mehendi design for you!

Don’t miss Faith, fashion, fusion: Muslim women’s style in Australia, which presents a refreshing look at the fashion and lives of Australian Muslim women who are creatively merging culture with couture.
