MaMA 

MSLM – MAMA Moslima Fashion was a two-part project: A magazine and an exhibition. MAMA saw, in Rotterdam as well as other cities, an immense variation in moslem women fashion and it’s influence on the fashion world.  But a magazine targeted to moslem women wasn’t publishedA group of young fashion-minded women, mostly second generation Moslem clearly stands out in our society.M SLM shows the fashion of this group. Because these young women grew up in the Netherlands, because they are Dutch, their background creates a fashion-clash which results in new interesting forms and silhouettes for both Moslem and non-Moslem women. Designers are inspired and influenced by this, use elements of another culture or design custom-fit products. From traditional to trendy, from the Mid-East to the West.

Natasa Heydra heeft samen met vijf jonge Moslima’s onderzocht hoe deze vrouwen zelf tegen mode aankijken. MAMA was met dit project vooral benieuwd naar de manier waarop de mode-industrie mogelijkerwijs in zou spelen op deze groep meiden,  die door hun extra set regels en gevarieerde achtergrond, specifieke eisen stellen aan hun kleding.
