A collection presented at New York Fashion Week is the first time every model walked the event's runway wearing a hijab.


Muslim designer Anniesa Hasibuan's show was also one of the first at the prestigious annual event.


At a time when what Muslim women choose to wear is causing intense debate, many are calling Hasibuan's move a historic moment in bringing the hijab into the mainstream.


A relative newcomer, 30-year-old Hasibuan received a standing ovation at the end of her show earlier this week.


Islamic fashion is definitely having a moment and retailers are trying to cash in, whether its H&M releasing an ad showing a Muslim model in a hijab, Uniqlo partnering with a Muslim designer or Dolce and Gabbana releasing a line of hijabs and abaya's, aimed at wealthy Muslim consumers.


Majority thinks Hasibuan has proven that Islamic wear can be fashionable, not just the plain black Arab-style burqa that people think of, and that there is talent in It.
