Last season, Muslim fashion designer
Anniesa Hasibuan made headlines as she became the first ever designer to feature hijabs in every outfit of her collection.
Now, at a time when what Muslim women choose to wear is causing debate and multiple brands are deciding to make political statements via their shows, Hasibuan is making history once again.
Unveiling her second collection amid controversy over US President Donald Trump’s recent order on immigration, the Muslim designer decided to cast her show entirely with immigrants and second-generation children of immigrants.
