The hijab and abaya have taken centre stage on the New York runway as up-and-coming Indonesian designers kicked off an increasingly diverse fashion week, hoping to change prejudices in the west.

“We’re not oppressed and we just want to show the world that we still can be beautiful and stylish with our hijab on,” said designer Dian Pelangi, 26, who has 4.8 million followers on Instagram.

She was one of five Indonesian designers who presented collections at the show in Chelsea on the first day of fashion week.

Hijab is an abomination used for female property of muslim men.

NOBODY is going to put me in a black “Hefty Bag” unless there is a toe tag attached. Period.

Reminds me of a SNL skit years ago where a bunch of butch women paraded on a runway in shapeless, drab one-piece swimsuits during a mythical Russian Fasion show, while an announcer with a thick accent proclaimed “The latest in laydees glorious svimvear.”

You’d think they would show an example of a beautiful hijab to prove it, rather than those things that range from ugly to just plain silly that they use to illustrate the article.

War is peace.

Freedom is slavery.

Ignorance is strength.

Hijab is beautiful.

It all makes sense, if you're a libtard/socialist.

There is nothing beautiful about clothing that identifies a person as a slave.

I don’t watch TV and have only seen the word “hijab” in print, how is it pronounced? “High-jab,””hee-jab,?” I have no idea.

Hijab is a symbol of male domination and female complacency. Just wait until these liberal designers trend their designs to mini skirts with matching hijabs, there will be a run on female sexual mutilation.

I've made several stopovers in Dubai on my way to (or from) somewhere else (Emirates Airlines offers free stopovers).On my first visit I took a trip to the Mall of Dubai,a very large and very fancy mall.There I saw woman,after woman,after woman wearing those black burlap sacks.

To this day the foolishness...the depravity...of those sacks send a chill down my spine.

Funny you should mention that.On my first visit to Duabi I remember sitting at McDonald's at the Mall of Dubai trying to figure out how a woman with a head-to-toe burlap sack can eat.

Finally I saw her lift a flap of black material under her chin,shove the food in and immediately drop the flap again.
