along with many other cultures and religions. Being able to walk the streets of a city dressed as you would like with the freedom to speak your mind is something many people dream of and sometimes never even get to experience. Some people may be surprised at how Islamic culture is expanding and in fact the cultural and fashion expansion itself is making a historical statement.

The evolution of Islamic fashion is an important one on many levels. First, we have to consider the barriers that garments such as the burqa have previously created between Muslim women and society, and that today Muslim women are professionals, mothers, wives, friends, and more, all at once.  Secondly, we have to think about the role of women within Islam. For generations, Islam was criticized for being surpressive and disrespectful of women; modern Islamic clothing has changed many of these views.

Freedom

America is known for its freedom. Freedom of speech, religion, and many other things to self-express yourself. Unlike in many other foreign countries you are not forbidden to wear nor say what you feel. Today, as the Islamic religion has become more and more popular and made its way to the west, so has the Islamic fashion industry.

Due to the freedom America offers, both Islamic women and men are able to be treated like any other civilian and maintain modern jobs.

Its Expansion

The Islamic culture and the fashion behind the Islam religion is extremely growing day by day. Not only is the culture expanding but also the fashion designers within Islam are beginning to make clothes that will better suit modern days and current fashion industries while still keeping and maintaining the requirements of the Islamic faith. Not only is the fashion and culture accepted, but also the religious aspect as more and more mosques are being built.
