What is the definition of style in fashion?















The style is expressing yourself through what you wear. Licensed from iStockPhoto. noun. The style is defined as a particular of doing or saying something or refers to a unique form of clothing or way of arranging your appearance. An example of the style is the method by which you learn.
As the first major exhibit to explore the intricacies of global Muslim fashion, Contemporary Muslim Fashions, running through Jan. 6 at the de Young, finally features a more accurate depiction of Muslim women—one that leaves the stereotypical black burka behind.
The exhibit features rows of beautifully dressed mannequins—both bare-headed and veiled. The yards of brightly-colored fabric represent more than Muslim style; they symbolize the importance of diversity and access. Altogether, it's a show that has already empowered Bay Area Muslims.
Curators Jill D’Alessandro and Laura L. Camerlengo consulted with the Bay Area’s Muslim community (which numbers over 250,000) and Reina Lewis, a professor of cultural studies at the London College of Fashion, to dig past the misrepresentations of Islam in mainstream media. They perused social media—the main platform used by Muslim women who want to reclaim their narrative—to select the 80 ensembles and 40 photographs featured in the exhibit, including Muslim pioneers like Halima Aden, Ibtihaj Muhammad, and Mona Haydar.
