Anniesa Hasibuan.

         A Muslim designer cast only immigrant models in her runway show, Annisea Hasibuan shows that "Fashion is an open world."

Took a very brave step against the situation of Trump's order of keeping immigrants out, but to be more detailed. Keep the Muslim immigrants out. Showing her thoughts to this, she gathers models who are immigrants, green card holders, and first -or second- generation Americans. Then putting them on the runway with stunning outfits and Hijab to really finish the beautiful look, doing this to show her sartorial protest against Islamophobic and xenophobic sentiments and policies in the U.S. "'Drama' is truly inspired by the strength of women," Hasibuan said. "Women are characterized by a very dynamic character with all the sad, happy, complicated moments. But at the end of the day, it's the strength of women that can actually cope with everything and become empowered and rise."
          The designer channeled empowerment through her modest collection by showing that conservative dressing doesn't have to be any less dynamic. Hasibuan also played with proportion and shape, by adding twisty belts and pairing voluminous cropped jackets with longline skirts to define the waistline. While riding the fine line between conservative dress and taking a sartorial risk, Hasibuan's twist on modest fashion can also be a tool to help dispel some people's misconception that Muslim women are oppressed. 
         "I'm pretty sure we can nail it," Hasibuan said confidently. "Fashion is one of the most important means we can use to express [ourselves]. To make political statements. To right the wrong."
