Hana of Style Covered, based in the UK

On how her religion impacts her day-to-day style…
“I’m a convert to Islam; I didn’t always dress this way.  The main thing is that I feel covered.  By that, I do of course mean literally i.e. wearing a scarf and covering my body, but it’s as much a state of mind.  To know that it is actually possible to feel beautiful without being sexy.  It also comes down to simplicity and shunning the ‘excess’ that comes with fashion.  Most of the time I’m working from home or with girlfriends so I don’t even think about covering up, but going out just means I pick from a different set of clothes, or add a layer or two.”
On the challenges she faces marrying fashion and her faith…
There are always challenges in getting what you look like to be reflective of who you are, and having lived both, I think it’s no more or less difficult having to cover.  It’s just different.  A different aesthetic.  It took a while to get to know myself this way, but it was exciting being able to experiment and having a whole new set of tools to play about with.
On the Muslim style blogging community…
“Being a part of such a small community of bloggers (especially when I first started) you get to know everyone.  We’d do our best to support what everyone else was doing because we know first hand how hard it can be.  But it’s also vibrant and a great network to be a part of.  Different countries all have their own particular style, and it’s wonderful to have such a diverse cross-section of style at your fingertips.”
