The Islamic Fashion Institute was founded nearly three years ago in Indonesia's third largest city of Bandung. The school is teaching students in the world's largest Muslim majority country the usual skills of design, styling and marketing but with a religion-specific twist. It offers nine-month courses in fashion styling, marketing, and basic styling and about 140 students have signed up now

Institute aims to teach students to make unique designs and become leaders in modest fashion and they need to be taught about wearing clothes according to Islamic rules.

The trend towards garments that meet religious requirements is becoming more visible among the burgeoning middle class in Indonesia, where, for years, few Muslim women covered their heads, or opted for traditional batik or Western clothing.

The Indonesian websites of leading online retailers such as Lazada.com and Zalora.com now have pages dedicated to Islamic fashion.

The country hosted its first Muslim Fashion Week in 2015 and the industry ministry aims to make Indonesia a "Muslim fashion hub" by 2020.
