Hijabi Inspired

For those who are unfamiliar, a Hijabi is a Muslim woman who wears a headscarf or hijab.  For me, my ObSeSsIoN with Jantaminiau (Jan Taminiau, a Netherlands born Couturier) started with the shoes....its ALWAYS about the shoes.  These are the definition of sculptural skyscraping footwear.  They are what I'd like to wear everyday of my life but can only do so in my dreams because well,  look at em...how would I get any work done in these?  I'd be staring down at my feet all day.  Anywhoo, like I said before, it started with the shoes.  Then I saw these absolutely amazing couture creations that just screamed "Muslim Woman Inspired."  They remind me of the the most fashionable Muslimahs I've ever seen...on fashion steroids.  Of course these pieces are highly fashionable and can be translated to a RTW look.  But just seeing this opens my eyes to the possibilities of what can become of a woman covered...avant garde, cutting edge, beautiful and modest.  Not to mention fiercely fashionable....HELLO!
