Itang Yunasz is a designer that used to create revealing gowns but then dissappeared for some years, to return with a comeback collection designed for veiled women. His designs were featured on the latest Islamic Fashion Festival. Here are some of his newest creations:
I really really love the colors. Many of the outfits are wearable as well.
Would you wear any of this???
This is a little late for this year, but there is always another year coming, insha’a Allah. The mother and daughter team at Sri Munawwarah make beautiful hajj inspired wear with a twist; this year’s collection is called “Pristine Pilgrimage”.
They have been making hajj collections for 16 (!) years, and this particular collection was made especially for the IFF. Follow their blog here.
What do you think?
Here are some pictures found on various blogs (here, here and here) of fashion the 2nd day of the Islamic Fashion Festival in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Although none of these gowns would be my first choice, I think the gown on the first picture looks adorable. The others are not me at all, but not too bad either…
The first and the last outfits here look good!
What do you think about the IFF Kuala Lumpur 2008 so far. Is it fulfilling your expectations or is it disappointing?

I don’t think there is anything revolutional about these outfits, but other than that they are pretty cute and colorful. I am looking forward to see something new, though!
Do you like the fashion of the IFF so far?
Very soon, November the 24th actually, IFF is back in Kuala Lumpur for it’s sixth year. There is much to be excited about, with both local and international designers featured.
“The need and presence for Islamic fashion has never been more pressing than now, as Islamic capitals of the world continue to expand and welcome foreign investors an undeniable setting as human societies establish closer ties across the globe.
Leave aside religious needs, Islamic fashion plays a much greater role than just to drape and to cover. ‘’While there are the obvious reasons needs to don Muslim attire – in a mosque, for weddings, for prayer etc., women and men of all walks of life and cultural backgrounds will see the need for Islamic fashion as world trade activities take place.And there is no definite instruction about how one should be covered, what with a modern and diversified community, we want to present to the people of this world that Islamic fashion indeed fashionable and for everyone. The demand has never been more present than now.”
