Basso and Brooke: Bold and Beautiful
Hijab style: A masterclass in balance and aesthetics
Origami cutting room
They may not be the most modest prints but they are absolutely stunning. I think I may have had a personality transplant, or maybe it’s just the sun getting to my head but I have fallen head over heels for these Japanese origami inspired prints. It’s not hard to see why, they are full of aesthetic contradiction (in the best way). The prints are bold, but have a lot of depth, layering and staggering detail. They are full of contrasting shapes and colours, but they seem clean and fresh. It would be so easy to get this wrong, but in the hands of Basso and Brooke they are spectacular. I don’t think I’ve ever been more passionate about print!
Muslimah style: With just the right amount of art and fashion I could look at these for days
Hijab friendly?
The garments are hijab friendly in their shape, and there are some more subtle prints maybe a hem detail or an all over pattern with graded colour. With the high-street hot on their heels trying to replicate this style there may be more affordable incarnations. If you wore one of these dresses and kept everything else very clean and basic it could definitely be suitable for Muslimah’s, just think of it as a modern approach to embroidery.
