Anniesa Hasibuan

Anniesa Hasibuan is not a new designer, but there's been a lot of buzz about her after her NYFW show back in February. Her show was light and feminine, with conservative styles that work with her religion's dress code. However, her line seems easily wearable to everyone, even women who don't follow conservative dressing. 
What's got everyone buzzing is her decision to cast only models who are immigrants or second-generation Americans. Although exclusive, I think this is awesome to show how much of America is made of immigrants, and how much we need and appreciate them. Each model also wore a hijab, which although might raise some controversy, I think is awesome to show the beauty of the hijab, and how it can be an expression of religion and not a sign of oppression.
