Lights, camara, action..for Islamic fashion designers

Many people judge very harshly the attire Muslim women chose to wear, yes according to Islam a woman should cover herself so that she does not attract unwanted attention, however though various designers women are still able to express their fashion styles. A Malaysian designer, Tom Abang Saufi, says that the Islamic wear differs from designer to designer and country to country, she also believes that "Islamic wear can be a thing of beauty rather than something that is prohibitive".

The Islamic fashion festival is part of the Malaysians international fashion every year, the designers of Islamic clothing display their creative designs and have become the fashion capital of Islamic fashion, since the middle east is so critical on Islamic clothing. Top European designers such as Christian Dior has attempted to make fashionable abaya, floor length black overcoat. Some designers have gone as far as making swimsuits for Muslim women. Why can't they just create an all woman's swimming pool???
