Tutorial Hijab Ala Paris

StreetStyle Hijab

What's New on Hijab Style..

Recently I saw a pretty polkadots-printed shawl in one of highstreet hijab stores. The shawl's material is spandex jersey with small dots print completed with a cloth-ring. I straightly thought that this is gonna be a unique hijab look..

And then in the next day, when I went to another highstreet hijab store, I saw this shawl, wrapped in a unique look, becoming a cover of newest Moshaict Magazine, 6th edition.. I right away started fell in love with that look..


The pretty ruffles the ring made give some extra volume to the wrap. Also, they either can give an asymmetric look to your hijab style, or, a turban look.

Eventhough I love it, I didn't rush into buying this kind of shawl/pashmina. I thought I could make this kind of shawl by myself. I could turn almost all of my 'already have' shawls or pashminas into this look, simply with just one single ring.

The ring can be made from a piece of cloth, a ribbon, or an elastic hair-ribbon or headband, or a braided-cloth, anything.. that you think can be shaped into a ring.

Or, simply put my elastic hair-ribbon or a jewel ring on to the shawl..

And this ring can easily be put 'off' or put 'onto' the shawl/pashmina.

Take a look at the pictures below.. It's super easy to make this kind of shawl by yourself with the pashmina/shawl you already have.

Another ring variation:

Belt/Buckle Ring

Pearls Ring

Below is one tutorial from that magazine showing off a hijab style using this Ring Shawl/Pashmina:


There are still lots of style you can create using this Ring Shawl/Pashmina...


And here is my DIY (do-it-yourself) project using a square scarf and a ring (literally).. ;)


What do you think of it?

So, have fun! Be creative! And stay fabulous, Lovelies!

Happy weekend! :)

Hijab  Tutorial

This hijab style by HijUpCom would definitely be one of my favorites ;)



Note that you need a MAXI (in length and width) rectangle-shaped scarf to get this style..

When I tried this style, most of my scarves in my wardrobe have a less length compared to the scarf in this video, so I couldn't get exactly the same look with the style taught in this video. Then I simply twisted the style, or modify it a bit..

Hmm.. another reason to buy a new scarf? hehe ;)

The scarf's material in this video is cotton-rayon, but it doesn't close the opportunities to use other materials such as chiffon, cotton-paris, or linen.. I've tried (I have a chiffon scarf in maxi size), and it works really well.. As for materials like satin or silk, they are slippery.. I'm not sure they will work well if wrapped in this style.

So, have you tried this style? What do you think of it?

Asymmetrical Hijab Style and Tutorial

Asymmetrical look in hijab style has been on trend lately..

If I'm not mistaken, this style was first introduced by Rabia Zargarpur, a renowned Muslimah clothing designer from Dubai, UAE, with her signature gathered top sheyla.

Then after she introduced this style and wore it herself, I noticed that some online shops followed to produce shawls/scarves which imitating her designs.

And not too long ever since, following the blooming of these asymmetrical draped-look shawls, there are a mass production of asymmetrical inner scarves, especially in Indonesia, with this kind of "ruffle" on the forehead which gives an illusion of asymmetric.

Salsabeela by Ollie, a Muslimah-clothing online shop based in Indonesia, also designed and produced this kind of "hair bangs" inner scarves.

Some people thought this style can make you look younger instantly.. ;)

Nowadays, particularly in hijab shops in Indonesia, there are lots of variation and modification on this asymmetrical hijabs, either on the scarves/shawls themself or on the inners.

Some of these asymmetrical hijabs/inner-scarves came up with the addition of jewelry or beads embedded on them, like these ones from NuHijab:


You can get these NuHijab looks on Style Plum.

So.. now you can choose, to simply buy the instant asymmetrical-look scarves; Or, make your own by following this tutorial, taught by the renowned beautiful Sister Amenakin of Pearl Daisy.

This wrap from Amenakin was called Asymmenakin.. ;)



Below are one of her looks using this wrap style..

This is also one of my favorite looks of her.. Looks very stylish and beautiful as always, doesn't she? :)

Make your own asymmetrical hijab look by making a ruffle on the forehead-side of your inner scarf or your hijab, then sewing the ruffle to make the ruffle stay in shape... Voilaaaa!!! You now have an asymmetrical-look hijab/inner.

You can add beads, a bow from ribbon, or knitted flower, by sewing it right on top of the ruffle to spice up the look.. ;)



So, what do you think, lovelies? Which one do you like, the symmetrical or asymmetrical hijab style?

Creativity and Diversity in Muslim Fashion.

At Jakarta Fashion and Food Festival recently (May 23, 2012, in Hotel Harris, Kelapa Gading, Jakarta), four well-known Islamic fashion designers from Indonesia showing off their latest collections in a fashion show as part of the Festival's series. With the show's title "Into The Future", these four designers came up with their own uniqueness in concept and design.

Jeny Tjahyawati came up with her "water inspired" designs dominated by aquatic colour-palette, from blue to aqua green and its gradation. Tuty Adib came with her shiny "cosmic nuance" collection in "atmospheric lights colour-palette such as dark brown and purple, mixed with green, yellow and orange. Dian Pelangi with her signature "youngsters style" collection in tie dye motifs and soft/pastel colours; and, Nuniek Mawardi with her colourful "minimalism-futuristik" designs.

Here are a little peep from the show:

Jeny Tjahjawati's Aquaristic

Tuty Adib's Venus in Love

Dian Pelangi's Plastic Doll

Nuniek Mawardi's Life in Technicolor

Interesting right? As we know, there are lots of creativities that can be poured into "covered style" fashion... and then they create diversity in Muslimah Fashion.

So, we look forward for more creativities in Muslim Fashion :)

Within Islam's mandate for modesty, the styles are endless...

I was browsing over my folders and files, and found this image of fabulously-looking Muslimah. I can not recall where the picture was from and when it was being photographed.

One thing that I remembered that I really adored her style, and.. when I found it just now, it still amplifies the current trend...

She rocked that "un-usual" cut of the shirt-dress and complimented her headscarf with a big statement brooch... then, smartly toned down all the garish 'black and white outfit' with a pair of 'one of this season's trends'... the nude shoes!

The shoes also break down the 'too matchy-matchy' colours from this look.

The style is simple.. but fabulous!

FashFaith Blog's style inspiration.

  Style Tips:

1. Try to add a big statement brooch onto your headscarf's wrap. It can be pinned on the side of your face just below your ears (like the look above), or at the back of your neck, on your shoulder, or above your inner hijab besides the forehead.

Or simply wear the inner hijab with a "brooch" attached like this... ^_^

It will unexpectedly boost up your look!

2. Don't be afraid to pull off some "un-usual" tops, it might be an asymmetrical-cut long shirt, awkward prints or designs, etc. You'd never know when it comes fit to your style. Or, with a right twist (for example by adding a belt or vest over it), it possibly makes you looking fabulous! 

3. Go for a perfect nude shoes! Find a pair ones that matches your own skin tone, especially pick the pump-type shoes. They will go with almost everything!


Have a wonderful days!

It might be not a quite new design, as 'jilbab sosor' has been popular amongst the urban Muslimahs in Indonesia about a few months ago.



The design firstly introduced by a well-known Muslimah fashion designer, Dian Pelangi.

It's an instant or slip-on hijab, so you just have to slip on the hijab directly to your head, then wrap or twist the excessive flowing part of it in so many ways. No pins needed. Perhaps a beautiful brooch or some velvet pins can be added, if you want to spice it up.. :)

This "jilbab" comes in so many various colours in Dian's signature design, tie-dye motifs.

The best part is you don't have to wear a ninja headdress to get many looks of hjab style. Here are some appearances of 'jilbab sosor':


The plain part acts as the inner while the "colourful" part can be wrapped up according to your desire.

You can see how Dian Pelangi styled up the 'jilbab sosor' in her site, here, here, and here.

Another new collection of hijabs by Dian Pelangi that I noticed quite popular too is 'jilbab rajut' (= knitted shawl) that made in colour gradations.


Below is my favorite colour gradation of Dian Pelangi's knitted headscarf/shawl, grades from navy blue to yellow-ish green:


 Check out one look on how Dian Pelangi wear this kind of headscarf here.


Do you own Dian Pelangi's 'jilbab sosor' or 'jilbab rajut'? What is your thought about these kind of headscarves?
