Social and Political Statement: Fashion Designer Anniesa Haibuan

    Through judgment, discrimination, and micro aggression the oppressed must find a way to not let the negative take the better of them. As this allows the help of eliminating these misconceptions and the growth of diversity to prosper. Anniesa Haibaun a Indonesian Muslim fashion designer has done just that as "Fashion is open to the world," said Haibuan "It should be providing opportunities for everybody." With that in mind Anniesa Defied the odds by creating a modern fashion look with a twist. Thus helping to eliminate the misconception that Muslim women are oppressed. For her fashion has a political statement that her fashion and she stands for, the rights threatened by Trump's administration (reproductive health, incivility, diversity and immigration). Personally I have had many run is with discrimination, micro aggression, and misconceptions of who and what I am as a "human being". Never-the-less have I let that drag me down or stop me from accomplishing my goals. In fact it has only mead me have more passion, motivation and determination for everything i put my mind to. I currently am in a fashion class, a subject in witch I knew few about but am gaining more knowledge by the day. As fashion is a form of art and a way to express ones self I feel that Anniesa Hiabuan is and influential women who has a very bright future ahead of her.
