Boutique offers Muslim clothing with a dash of style

Creative crew: The Indonesian designers behind the clothes availabe at Busana Timoer were present for the launch of the boutique.

THE ISLAMIC hijab, a veil that covers the head and chest, need not be plain and boring. If you want ideas on how to wear hijab in the most glamorous and fashionable way, go to Busana Timoer, a new boutique that specialises in Muslim designer apparel, hijab and accessories.

“We hope to live up to our motto, ‘Redefining hijab fashion’. Our collection is definitely more creative and interesting, something the contemporary and modern Muslim woman would appreciate,” says Omar Arif, the managing director of Cakrawala Communications, owner of the boutique.
