The head covering is among the most identifiable parts of Muslim women’s clothing. Their choice of dress is often thought of as uncreative and restrictive to many Westerners. A new exhibit in California shows that the covering used by some Muslim women can be very colorful. The show, called “Contemporary Muslim Fashions,” opened September 22 at the M.H. de Young Memorial Museum in San Francisco. Visitors can see fashion products from nearly 60 designers from around the world, including the Middle East and Southeast Asia. The clothes are colorful, beautiful and playful. They include high-priced, made-to-order fashions and bright, lively streetwear. The show is said to be the first major museum exhibition of its kind. Organizers say they hope to create a deeper understanding of the women who are part of the second-largest religion in the world.
