Indonesian Islamic Fashion - Modern Muslim Clothes
Indonesian Muslim Fashion Designers are not only keen on showcasing the latest trends and designs in Islamic-inspired apparels but also want to help establish Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur and Dubai as Islamic fashion capitals
Indonesian and other Asian Muslim dress designers hope to turn the three cities to capitals of the industry that reconciles the Muslim faith with the dictates of fashion, just as London, Paris and New York are to Western labels
Islamic Fashion for Indonesian Professionals
The growth and expansion of the Indonesian Muslim middle class and their penetration into Western society are making them more dress- and fashion-conscious
