When is Macy’s launching its clothing line geared toward Jews? Christians? Hindus? Buddhists?In any case, coming at a time when Iranian women are risking years in prison for daring to take off their hijabs, for Macy’s to celebrate this emblem of oppression is grotesque. Untold numbers of women have been brutalized and killed for not wearing the hijab: a very small and partial list of some of them can be found here. In recognition of that fact, Macy’s should drop this clothing line, just as it would drop a clothing line inspired by, say, the KKK or the Nazis. But it won’t.
“Macy’s to launch a clothing line geared toward Muslims,” Associated Press, February 7, 2018 (thanks to Joe):
NEW YORK (AP) – Macy’s is launching a women’s clothing line aimed at Muslim shoppers. The department store chain says it teamed up with a boutique called Verona Collection and plans to sell the collection of modest dresses, tops, cardigans and hijabs online. The clothing will launch on Macy’s website on Feb. 15._______________________________________________________
The brand was developed by Lisa Vogl, a graduate of Macy’s minority- and women-owned business development program, which aims to offer more fashion diversity.
While Macy’s is the first major U.S. department store to sell hijabs, it joins other brands offering products aimed at Muslims….
American Islamic Forum for Democracy Dr. Zuhdi Jasser questions the
motives behind Macy’s decision to launch a Muslim-inspired clothing
line.
