Dolce & Gabbana made a splash this week when the brand announced it would be releasing a new collection of hijabs and abayas.
While many are ecstatic about the strategic move by the luxury fashion house, others are wary of the motivations behind the line: Is it a pure money grab?
After all, Thomson Reuters reports that Muslim women are expected to spend £322 billion on clothing and shoes by 2019.
Some in particular see this as a clear move to tap into that lucrative market and voice concerns that the line is clearly targeted toward a very small but wealthy segment of Muslim women in the Gulf.
Others stress the need to support the smaller, Muslim-owned businesses in the industry.
As the CEO and chief designer of Haute Hijab, an online retailer for modest fashion, I'm here to aid with this request. Ahead, shop 10 hijabs and scarves, made by Muslim women, for Muslim women.
