Hennie Noer @ Jakarta Fasion Week

Jakarta Fashion Week started today with Hennie Noer's latest collection. Let's have a look shall we?

The designer at the end of the runway:

She had a bit of a relaxed white and subtle striped look going on with her collection:

Continuing the striped look with some autumn shades:

Ending with cooler, brighter hues of pink and blue:

Which is your fav from Hennie's collection?

egyptian hijab styles

most are cool, colourful and funky, but i have noticed that a lot are just down right fugly, over the top and extremely tacky. take these into consideration:

red ruffles, corset-bodice and a full spanish style skirt with a hijab in a western wedding veil-like wrap, with a huge flower on top = effing gross. just too worng. hurts my eyes. seriously - who the eff would wear this mess?

or how about full on tacky-cheap leopard print? leopard print is usually a trailer park trashee's favourite design, so when i see a full length butterfly abaya and matching hijab i just want to vomit all over my own lap. even the model isnt happy about wearing it...

anywho - i guess this is why i prefer the khaleeji (arab gulf) style of hijab - it is a lot less 'all over the place', simpler and in my mind much classier. dont get me wrong - i love egypt and egyptians, but some of them are definitely the queens of cheap and tacky. sometimes the layers and layers of crap and the race to see "who can look the most colourful?" is just way too much.

subtle and refined are words to keep in mind.

i will leave the words up to you...

whats left on the tip of your tongue after seeing this?

Justice for Hijab Martyr

Remember the post I did here about the pregnant Egyptian woman stabbed to death in a German court?

Well the court in Germany has handed down a sentence of LIFE IMPRISONMENT for the man convicted of her very public murder. Read the BBC account here.

And in an ironic circumstance, the man turned up to court with a hood over his head and his face completely covered.

Alhamdulilah.
