Modest Fashion on Instagram | Contemporary Muslim Fashions

Although various social-media platforms have been embraced globally, the photo-sharing app Instagram is currently a preferred platform for many style influencers. As the Instagram content shown here reveals, among Muslim modest fashionistas today, personal style can serve as a medium for discussions about contemporary fashion as well as a tool for positive social change. Clothing allows them to draw attention to issues of sustainability and ethical production in fashion; to gender, racial, and religious inequalities; and to other societal concerns. #ContemporaryMuslimFashions This video is part of the exhibition "Contemporary Muslim Fashions" on view Feb., 2020 through August, 2020 at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum.
