Dolce & Gabbana caused a stir on social media with the announcement of their new clothing line of hijabs, abayas and head coverings. Does the fashion company's decision to release a collection inspired by typical Muslim women’s garb suggest that modesty is slowly making a stand in the fashion industry? The Italian fashion designers are not the first in the fashion world to make a move toward modesty. H&M, Tommy Hilfiger and DKNY already sell clothes, like hijabs, that are marketed toward Muslim women, according to Business Insider. Plus it may not just be a fashion-minded move on the part of these designers: Research shows that Muslim women spent $266 billion on clothes and shoes in 2013. That number is expected to reach $484 billion by 2019. Forbes reports that sales of personal luxury good in the Middle East were up from $6.8 billion in 2014 to $8.7 billion in 2015. Dolce & Gabbana currently operates 13 stores and boutiques in the United Arab Emirates with outposts in Bahraim, Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, a growing desire for modest fashion has slowly made its mark on social media with a booming community of bloggers and online marketplaces selling to modest fashionistas. Modest fashion blogger for The Fashion Standard Ruth Baron believes that modesty is in vogue right now.
