North American Islamic Fashion

Muhammad Mateen of North American Islamic Fashion (1068 Danforth Ave.) states "I have all kinds of varieties of hijabs under one roof," He stocks them in the thousands, imported from Dubai, Pakistan, India and Syria.Prices start at $10 and can go up to $100 for the fancy, glittery ones with hand embroidery, hand painting or sequins, favoured by teenagers. The Danforth shop attracts customers from all over Canada and the U.S. "Not just Muslim shoppers," Mateen says. "All community people like it." "Fashion has changed. People come and try them on," Naila says. "I teach them how to wrap it around their head and neck."
