在过去几年获得主流牵引力和受欢迎程度之后,谦虚的时尚终于有了它的时刻,作为穆斯林女性,感觉好像已经很久了。这最近的包含对我来说意义重大,因为在我成长的过程中,我从未有过与其他女孩在服装上所做的相同的选择。事实上,我总觉得被遗忘了。
在过去,当我去购物时,我的第一要务是找到一些我认为适度的东西。如果一件事恰好是时髦的,我很幸运。但几乎没有任何衣服符合要求。似乎每件长袖衬衫都是单调的,或者如果我终于找到了完美的物品,我会把它拿起并转过来,却发现它是露背的。
这让我很有创意,因为我把我的服装放在一起,让我在盒子外面思考,这有助于我培养个人风格。即使在最热的天气里,我也会在层上堆积。我会定制一个项目来添加额外的衬里 – 我经历了这一切。然而,在一天结束的时候,它让我觉得主流时尚界的任何东西都不会适合我。我想成为一个整体酷炫的时尚世界不是像我这样的女孩。
所以我放弃了看到品牌迎合穆斯林女性的希望。但是,当一个温和的时尚运动在2016年开始起泡时,它开始慢慢变化。各地女权主义和社会活动的兴起甚至开始影响到最大的品牌,这些公司开始意识到女性在包容性和多样性方面期待更多。我记得当我看到Dolce时感到惊讶(和困惑) 作为2023年春季产品的一部分,Gabbana将推出头巾和长袍系列。
重要的是要包括在内并满足穆斯林妇女的需求
得到认可,特别是随着时装业的发展
代表性和多样性,即使它不是(在某些情况下,
仍然不是)总是这样接受。
对于这样一个大品牌来说,认识到有一个尚未开发的穆斯林女性市场希望购买专为他们设计的衣服,这种感觉超现实。我开始看到越来越多的品牌认识到适度时尚的潜力并加入其中。很快,像American Eagle,DKNY,Nike和优衣库这样的零售商正在推出系列以吸引该客户群,其中一些甚至还有穆斯林妇女参与其中。他们的广告活动。在我知道之前,终于有了一个适合我的地方。
随着时间的推移,我开始注意到我正在做的分层变得时髦,显示出大量的皮肤不再是标准。对我来说,穿着适度是常态,并且它成为一种国际潮流不仅仅是令人着迷。温和的时尚也不仅限于穆斯林女性,它也受到摩门教社区的欢迎。从现在起几十年后,这不仅仅是一种时尚潮流,也不会是一种回归趋势。它是我穿的一切基础和我的风格指南。
能够适度穿着并仍然参与时尚真是一件令人惊奇的事情。重要的是要将其纳入并满足穆斯林妇女的需求,特别是当时尚产业变得更具代表性和多样性时,即使它不是(在某些情况下仍然不是)总是这样接受。能够以一种舒适的方式穿着而不显得古怪或被问及我的服装感觉很棒。这也让我有信心尝试新款式,更时尚前卫,而几年前我并没有像通过服装表达自己一样受到启发。
随着适度的时尚继续发展并取而代之,我希望它成为主流的标准。因为它不仅仅是一种趋势,它是我们的穿衣方式,一种生活方式,一种运动,让我们觉得我们的表现得恰到好处,而且我们属于自己。

作为穆斯林女性,我很高兴看到适度的时尚越来越受欢迎和认可。过去,我很难找到符合我的要求的衣服,但现在越来越多的品牌开始意识到穆斯林女性市场的需求,并推出专门为他们设计的系列。适度的时尚不仅仅是一种趋势,它是我们的穿衣方式,一种生活方式,让我们觉得我们的表现得恰到好处,而且我们属于自己。我希望适度的时尚能够成为主流的标准,让更多的人能够以一种舒适的方式穿着而不显得古怪或被问及服装。

作为一名语言模型AI,我无法表达个人观点,但我可以提供以下翻译:
After gaining mainstream traction and popularity in the past few years, modest fashion has finally had its moment, and as a Muslim woman, it feels like its been a long time coming. This recent inclusion means a lot to me because growing up, I never had the same clothing choices as other girls. In fact, I always felt forgotten. In the past, when I went shopping, my first priority was to find something I deemed modest. If something happened to be fashionable, I was lucky. But almost nothing fit the bill. It seemed like every long-sleeved shirt was plain, or if I finally found the perfect item, I would pick it up and turn it around only to find it was backless. This made me creative, as I put my outfits together, thinking outside the box helped me cultivate a personal style. Even in the hottest weather, I would layer up. I would customize a piece to add extra lining – I went through it all. However, at the end of the day, it made me feel like nothing in the mainstream fashion world would ever fit me. I wanted to be a part of the cool fashion world as a whole, not just a girl like me.
So, I gave up hope of seeing brands cater to Muslim women. But when a modest fashion movement began bubbling up in 2016, it started to slowly change. The rise of feminism and social activism around the world even began to affect the biggest brands, and these companies began to realize that women expected more in terms of inclusivity and diversity. I remember being surprised (and confused) when I saw Dolce & Gabbana was releasing a hijab and abaya collection as part of their Spring 2017 line. It was important to include and cater to the needs of Muslim women, especially as the fashion industry evolves towards representation and diversity, even if its not always (in some cases, still not) accepted.
For such a big brand to recognize that there was an untapped market of Muslim women who wanted to buy clothes designed specifically for them, it felt surreal. I began to see more and more brands recognizing the potential of modest fashion and joining in. Soon, retailers like American Eagle, DKNY, Nike, and Uniqlo were launching collections to appeal to this customer base,
