Fashion for Ultra-Orthodox Women

Sleeve length, the neckline, head covers. How much do religious, ultra-
orthodox women manage to combine a religious lifestyle with fine
fashion? “It started from me personally having a hard time finding the
perfect outfit, and when I actually started designing my collection, I started
it for myself. I put out a very small collection at first, the collection was
snatched in mere days. I realized there’s some kind of something here.”
“This is actually a head cover with six straps, tree on each side, and really
its purpose is that (you) can tie infinite variations and options with it. The
head cover today has become a very trendy, fashionable thing. Today both
religious women and secular women use it, because it’s actually
accessories.” “There’s a development of fashion bloggers. There are many
girls going to study styling.” “And you as a religious, ultra-orthodox
woman, how much is this styling really important to you?” “Very
important. I think today in the ultra-orthodox sector, how she looks is
important to every woman.” “You’re not surprised by the fact that
orthodox, religious women, who were always perceived to be more in the
home, are suddenly breaking out and they’re bloggers and fashion
designers?” “Today in two thousand sixteen career-driven, powerful
women, who work, who are independent. Today in my opinion we’re the
strongest (ones) in the workforce, the women anyway.”
