High Street Hijabis

Nicola Roberts of Girls Aloud fame and Muslim style and beauty vlogger Nabiilabee explore why so many young Muslim women are turning to 'modest fashion' vloggers.

Nicola Roberts of Girls Aloud fame and Muslim style and beauty vlogger Nabiilabee join together to explore why so many young Muslim women are turning to 'modest fashion' vloggers for inspiration on how to interpret their Western identities coupled with their Eastern religion and cultures.

The pair set out to uncover the truth about hijabis and the modest fashion movement. Along the way they will be set a 拢100 challenge to try and shop for each other on the UK high street. How will Nicola fare when choosing a modest fashion outfit and will Nabiilabee rise to the challenge of finding an outfit for Nicola?

Nicola and Nabiilabee will also be speaking to high street chains, high end labels and an Islamic scholar to explore the emergence of the modest fashion movement. They will be asking whether dressing stylishly conflicts with religion and trying to discover why British high streets and UK fashion houses have not yet tapped into this potential market.
