MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota (WCCO) — A Minneapolis woman is making huge strides to diversify the world of fashion.
Hilal Ibrahim, the founder of Henna and Hijabs, has partnered with Nordstrom to launch the department store’s first line of designer hijabs.
The product made its debut in 16 Nordstrom stores Tuesday, including at Mall of America in Bloomington.
“‘The time is now.’ That’s our company motto,” Ibrahim said. “It’s a surreal moment, like it’s like this is really happening.”
Ibrahim designs hijabs to be fashionable and stylish, which isn’t always the case for the head scarves commonly worn by Muslim women. The Nordstrom launch also makes them more accessible, a focus of Ibrahim’s since high school. Sahra Mohamed is a friend of Ibrahim’s.
