Australian Muslim women dress in diverse styles and are increasingly choosing to engage with global fashion trends while also expressing their faith. Faith, fashion, fusion: Muslim women’s style in Australia showcases the emerging modest fashion market and the work of a new generation of fashion designers, retailers and bloggers offering stylish clothing and fashion advice to Muslim women.

Faith, fashion and Muslim identity are further explored through individual case studies featuring the stories from a group of Australian Muslim women. Through photographs, treasured objects and interviews the women share their experiences and achievements, challenging stereotypes of Muslim identity.
