dc.description.abstractThis study aims to shed light on fashion and the Islamic faith in the 21st century, focusing on the choices and practices of women who work in corporate Ghana to promote novel fashion styles that suit trends of the day and Islamic regulations and laws. The mixed research method was employed to gather and synthesize the data from a population of Muslim women working in corporate Ghana. Snowball sampling technique was used to select all the 120 respondents for the study. Participants for this study were selected through a set of criteria. Firstly, they must be women. Secondly, they must be practising Muslims. Thirdly, they must be between the ages of 25- 50 years. Fourthly, they must work in any formal institution in Ghana. Results indicated Muslim women prefer clothing with loose silhouettes with African fabric incorporation in their styles and as much as possible fulfil the regulations of Islam. Results also established the relationship between Islam and fashion of the 21st century as being influenced by their knowledge in Islam especially knowledge governing the clothing for women. Data collected was used to create a collection of six designs through the art-studio practice. The studio practice involved customer profiling, research, concept creation; mood board, idea development; designing and illustrations.
