The rise of 'modest' fashion (Luxury hijabs and abayas)
CNN Style ^ | March 8, 2017 | Monica Ainley and Fiona Sinclair Scott

Trend analysts have dubbed what they interpret as a new wave of feminism the "pluri-empowerment" factor, says Iza Dezon, a trend forecaster at Peclers Paris.

"An empowered woman is no longer subject to a specific definition, nor must she live by a specific set of values," she explains. "We're seeing the opening up of what empowerment means, allowing women to create their own definitions."

The modest movement has been gaining steam for a few years now and the hijab has become a recognized symbol. In 2014 DKNY launched a bespoke modest fashion collection. In 2016, Dolce & Gabbana released a line of luxury hijabs and abayas.

In the same year, H&M featured a Muslim model wearing a hijab in a video to promote their sustainable fashion line. Last November, Halima Aden was the first beauty pageant contestant in history to wear a hijab at the Miss Minnesota USA competition.

Last month, Aden was invited to Milan to walk the Max Mara and Alberta Feretti catwalk in her hijab, having also been cast by Kanye West for his Yeezy show in New York a few weeks earlier. This week, Nike announced the launch of their first "pro hijab."(continued)

“Empowerment” in this case means women must dress in a way that won’t get her beaten by their husbands. How progressive.

Liberals don’t like modest fashion when it’s worn by Christian families like the Bates, Duggars, etc. They are mocked. Muslims are praised by the left, and they actually cover more than the aforementioned families. It makes no sense.

Empowered women kept down by their 1/4 husbands. Right.

Interesting to leftists any hint of Christian modesty is deemed puritanical, throwback, evil.

Muslim women wearing symbols of their oppression is something to celebrate.

Liberalism is a mental disease.

That’s because liberals don’t care about who you’re bowing to, as long as you’re not bowing to Christ....

I think I was wrong. I thought Trump getting elected would avoid an inevitable conflict in this country.

I dont see how sometimes.

And I usually sneer at those who suggest it, and i apologize.

There’s just no boundaries like the north/south civil war.

Will it be sporadic fights like at Berkeley?

Will it be more like the 60s than civil war?

But when I see police confronting ICE members, I know trouble’s a brewin.

High-end Hindu fashion ... saris that cost as much as my car, for example ... have been around for decades. This isn’t all that different.

The political left is basically a movement by Westerners against their own civilization. To that end, everything is justifiable. If being brutalized by Muslim fanatics is what it takes, they will take it.

They would rather embrace Satan himself than fall into the arms of the loving Christ. And that is the crux of the problem. Period.

On the bright side, once these libtard women get used to being sack wearing chattel as one of several wives or sex slaves, and getting beaten of stoned to death for minor offenses, they’ll come around to being grateful to make a sammich.

I’m sure it will evolve into women wearing mini skirts with hijabs or short short cut offs with hijabs or (god forbid) yoga pants with hijabs. So if I’m walking down the street and I see that, and I begin to beat the woman mercilessly, and a cop comes along? I would just say I’m a Muslim guy and that she was offending me? - and away I walk?

I guess these women want to look fashionable before their man beats the }^#%+ out of them.
