Made in Islam

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

Siba Shakib accompanies designers who adhere to the rules of religion and whose creations are nevertheless or precisely because of this worthy to be presented at international fashion shows. Whether niqab, hijab, shayla or al-Amira … The veil as an example of Muslim clothing is always ambiguous: as an instrument of control, a religious sign and at the same time a fashionable detail, an ornament
whose beauty counts.
The Iranian-born director Siba Shakib takes us on a journey into Islamic fashion – »Modest Fashion«. Behind the traditional headgear she heads towards the question of how it can be that women in the West are always supposed to be sexy and women in the Middle East are mainly covered.
