ISLAMIC FASHION PART 2

l fashion as a phenomenon stemmed from the combination of a set of Islamic practice (in which the need to cover a specific set of body parts is present) and of the rising need and desire to include these specific clothing items in a broader fashion industry. The global growth of “an Islamic consumer sector,  which explicity forges links between religiosity and fashion, encouraging Muslims to be both covered and fashionable, modest and beautiful " is relatively young: Islamic fashion as a particular phenomenon started appearing towards the 1980s.
    The most recent development in the field have caused a varied public discourse on eerie of different levels , from the political to the religious, to the cultural.
     Different positions are taken by different participants in the discussion of politics and cultures of islamic fashion.

Big brands are trying to present their collections related to muslim religious observances, however, without any visible attempts to single handedly secure the muslim customers in western countries leaving the space for the emerging young designers mainly from muslim States. In the UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, particularly DUBAI, are steadily laying the ground to become the ISLAMIC fashion center with highly curated designers district and housing the leading ISLAMIC brands.
