2008'S WINNING DESIGNER IS... TANNY "HIJAB IT UP"
Tanveer Ahmed (Tanny)draws his inspiration from Labour MP Jack Straw's comment about Muslim women and how he believed they should remove the veil. Finding that disrespectful, as it's a woman's choice he decided to modernise the veil to today's society. Titling his collection as HIJAB_IT UP! In his own words Tanny describes his designs as "creatively and innovatively cut and manufactured all-in-all made to fit the idol form of a woman. It's all black to represent the true colour of the veil with an Urban Cultural style to it."
