Vitality Collection

Design Concept

A hijab collection that blends sustainability with unique eco-friendly prints, reflecting my identity as a Mexican-American Muslim in the fashion industry. Living in the Bay Area, where diverse cultures and communities thrive, I sought to merge Mexican traditional techniques of printing, Muslim-inspired traditional scarf styles, and American influences through neutral colors and local plants. This collection celebrates cultural unity while emphasizing environmental consciousness, addressing the global issue of textile waste.
