Instagramさんのインスタグラム写真 - (InstagramInstagram)「Rahmalia Aufa Yazid (@aufatokyo) felt like she stuck out when she first started wearing a hijab, and not just because she was the only hijabi student in her major. Born and raised in Tokyo to Indonesian Muslim parents, Aufa struggled to dress with her hijab and found herself missing out on all the popular Japanese clothing trends. “Although it was my choice to wear the hijab, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel like it was instead, wearing me,” Aufa says. Everything changed when she encountered the work of Hana Tajima, a British and Japanese Muslim designer who inspired her look. Aufa now combines Japanese and Muslim fashions in the city of Tokyo. “I want to show that Muslim fashion is something that goes beyond the boundaries of religion and that anyone can empathize with, and enjoy, it,” she says. “I want to show myself: a Muslim, living strong and beautiful, through my art.” —Reported by Kassy Cho (@kassy) This March, we’re collaborating with BuzzFeed News reporter and producer Kassy Cho of @world to find and highlight women around the globe who are making an impact in their local community and on Instagram. ❤️ Stay tuned here and on @world to see more. #WCW Photo by @aufatokyo」3月28日 3時16分
