Lebaas Logged into Growing Islamic Fashionwear Domain with Global Footprints

READING, U.K. - Aug. 3, 2015 - PRLog -- London Fashion Week happens to be among the world’s most followed lifestyle and apparel spectacles. The 2014 LFW edition engaged a lot more attention since it showcased creations from the Muslim designer wear niche. One trend that caught everybody’s attention was the breakthrough in creativity from emerging, relatively unknown Islamic designers. This included fashion houses from the UK and many Indonesian designers who had already made a splash in 2013 and at Jakarta Fashion Week 2014. Trends that emerged during this fashion event have snowballed into 2015 with contemporary Islamic fashion specialists, like Lebaas.com, rising to the challenge. As Muslim wear continues engage more attention, the world of online retail is realizing its vast potential.

Muslim fashion has been slow in garnering attention world primarily because its restricted designer wear options failed to impress in a marketplace where people are becoming more demanding about daily wear, workwear and party wear expecting that fashion labels will suffice in having an individual line of creations. Muslim fashion is shaking of its conventional image, moving beyond the boundaries of tamed colors and standard fittings. This includes some of the most conservational Muslim dressing domains like Indonesia.

Today, the Indonesian Fashion Industry is expected to be at the heart of the Islamic wear market across Asia and is destined to occupy a globally revered position by 2025! This underlines a game-changing transformation, making Muslim designers relook their portfolios and reinvent to keep-up with the quick changing dynamics. Keeping in sync with this, Islamic fashion wear manufacturers and retailers, like Lebaas, are gearing up to announce themselves in Southeast Asia and increase their presence via landmark events such as the Jakarta Fashion Week.

As global Muslim clothing gets more innovative without challenging its socio-cultural norms, influencers from this niche are also undergoing a transformation. What was earlier limited to Asian personalities from the movie industry is now giving way to young achievers who are making their presence felt on a global platform. This includes Muslim designers who have graduated from top designing schools. Muslim designers are now becoming globetrotters interacting with the counterparts. A realization has dawned upon them—Islamic dressing that was traditionally believed to have a global flavor is actually very different. The type of hijab worn in northern African nations does not represent the fashion forward populations found in Malaysia who readily adopt vibrant headgear.

These interactions are also visible on social media handles. Lebaas has a far-reaching Facebook audience and many of its interns are young thinkers and local influencers with whom the first contact was made through such social media conversations. As Muslim wear category finds a firmer footing in the global fashion week domain, designers are digging deeper into the wealth of Islamic history and realizing that their apparel culture remains largely untapped. What has been largely interpreted as the Hijab Revolution has endless layers that remain to the introspected and given a wearable avatar. Consider this consumer trend for instance - western nations are realizing that Islamic wear is unbelievably comfortable and liberating and has something to offer for every season. Further, Islamic wear can be classified in accordance with existing apparel industry norms. It is just about marketing and visibility that remain to be conquered. Lebaas has addressed this challenge by curating its online store with the finest of e-retail practices.

Nations that blend in the Europe-Asian landscape and eastern European consumers are increasingly identifying with the sublime minimalism and elegant monochromatic palettes of Islamic wear that were never given their due until now. The awareness has yielded options beyond anyone’s expectations. For instance, people who wear fully organic apparel too have something to choose from the Islamic apparel industry. The emerging era of Muslim fashion trends is about addressing this global acceptability and surpassing customer expectations. From London and Jakarta Fashion Weeks to Indonesian Fashion Forward programs and Trade Expos, non-targeted consumers too will be engaged as more foreign buyers discover the depths of Islamic fashion wear.
