Muslim fashion designer Anniesa Hasibuan made history, as the models presenting her fashion line on the runway at New York Fashion Week wore the traditional Islamic head cover known as hijab. The 28-year-old designer from Indonesia wrote on her instagram page after the show: ‘Muslims from all over the world and all you, beautiful people, thank you for your support’. Her manager told CNN that Anniesa was very sentimental and crying during the show backstage. ‘I didn’t expect the result to be so perfect. I am overwhelmed by the warm reception from the public’, said the Indonesian designer.
