Vela Scarves Bridal Hijab Styles

Muslim women in the California area have already been privy to this latest hijabi fashion trend. But with the recent article write-up in the Los Angeles Times, Vela Scarves is all set to go national, and maybe even international.

Vela Scarves is an online store run by Marwa Atik. She designs lovely hijab styles, and sews them herself! And she's only 20! The designs are fresh and appealing to young Muslim women in the US.

About Marwa Atik, the hijab fashion designer:

Atik, whose parents are from Syria, began wearing the head scarf in eighth grade. She was the editor of her high school yearbook but found herself spending more time browsing fashion websites than looking at photos of student clubs and activities. After school she would spend hours at Wal-Mart reading fashion magazines. In the summer of 2009 when she and Diab decided to design hijabs, she took sewing classes, the youngest among a group of elderly women making patterned quilts.

Atik has taken the Muslim head scarf, often known as hijab, and turned it into a canvas for her fashion sensibilities, with ideas inspired by designs from Forever 21 and H&M as well as haute couture runways and the pages of Vogue and Elle. Showing her latest design at a mosque was her way of gauging sentiment on scarves that go beyond the limited fashion realm they have thus far inhabited, such as floral and geometric prints or lace and beaded embellishments.
