| Summary: | The idea of Indonesia becoming the center of influence in world Muslim fashion in 2020 by
Indonesia Islamic Fashion Consortium (IIIF) is strongly feasible, where the industry has been
growing significantly since 1990's (Warta Ekspor-Indonesia Ministry of Trade, 2015). This is an
interesting phenomenon to be noticed, especially related to hijab (head cover) that has many
designs and styles (Rahayu, 2016). Nowadays, hijab has reached a certain prestige as a
globalization sign, a symbol of Indonesian Muslim towards other Muslim in another country in a
modern world (Ibrahim, 2011). The latest hijab trend in Indonesia appears as a manifestation of
paradigm shift of wearing hijab. There is Hijabers Community (HC), a Muslimah community
founded in 2010 in Jakarta that accommodates hijab and Muslimah related activities. One of this
community's taglines is“From fashion to islamic studies, from hijab style to learning Islam,
anything that will make us a better Muslimah insya Allah”. Refered to this tagline, through the
design and style of hijab which displayed, HC wants to change the view of the hijab that is
synonymous with traditional and ancient, into something modern, fashionable and dynamic
(Setiadi, 2013). Some of the initiators of the community are fashion designers who become the
influencers towards Indonesian Muslim fashion industry. This research focuses on how hijab
design and style changed after HC has been founded in Indonesia and what kind of design
aspects which influenced the changes.
Further, this is a qualitative research where primary data are gained through field observation
and events, as well as interview with respondents HC member and fashion designer. While
secondary data gained from related literature review. Finally, result of this research is
classification of hijab design and style that is influenced by HC along with its elaboration and
conclusion that are related towards the impact of these changes. |
