A fashion event took place last month that seemed — well, not like the other s: the Islamic Fashion Festival in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
上月舉行的一場時尚活動：馬來西亞吉隆坡的伊斯蘭時尚節，看起來，嗯，不同於其他時尚活動。

“Islamic fashion festival? Just doesn’t make sense,” one Muslim girl tweeted.

一名穆斯林女孩推文：「伊斯蘭時尚節？搞不懂。」

But that, it turned out, was precisely the point.

但事實上，巧妙就在這兒。

Founded nine years ago by Dato’ Raja Rezza Shah partly to combat stereotypes about Islam, the festival is part of a wider movement within a slice of the Muslim world — most often Muslims living in minority contexts, or non-Arab Muslim majority countries — that has seized on fashion as a means to reshape the cultural narrative. Or at least how it is seen.

時尚節九年前由拉惹理查拿督創立，部分原因是為了對抗關於伊斯蘭的刻板印象。時尚節是穆斯林世界小部分地區一個更大行動的一環，這些穆斯林多半在居住國屬少數族裔，或是住在穆斯林居多數的非阿拉伯國家，要以時尚為手段重塑文化敘事，或者至少改變外界的印象。
