Vivi Zubedi, the inspiring accountant turned fashion designer from Jakarta, Indonesia, premiered her latest collection at NYFW, featuring a mix of hijabs, pearls, and detailed designs. The Muslim designer turned heads in 2011 when she launched her first collection at Indonesia Fashion Week, and quickly became a name to remember as she made her debut at New York Fashion Week in 2017 after partnering with IMG.
Zubedi’s Muslim religion plays a huge role in her design process, with each elegant ensemble featuring a nuanced abaya-complete with pearls, baseball caps, and beautiful designs, she’s proving that Muslim women can too partake in the fashion world. Breaking down barriers and paving a way for others to be accepted is what fashion should be all about, and Vivi Zubedi is definitely doing her part to change the way that Muslim women are seen, she’s putting her designs out in the world on the runway, and we can’t wait to see what’s next!
