American Muslim Tapestry — Power Silhouette Abaya | Threads of Renewal 2026

Length: 58"
One of One

A singular wearable artwork created for the Threads of Renewal 2026 runway.

Built in the Michaela Corning Power Silhouette Abaya, the front is constructed from reclaimed Ralph Lauren denim originally used as a comforter. The dramatic patchwork back brings together individually assembled pieces of upcycled denim and culturally specific textiles to create a visual tapestry of identity, migration, community and belonging.

The denim was sourced through the Barakah Community Closet alongside reclaimed denim generously gifted by Seattle slow-fashion brand Prairie Underground.

Every section was individually selected, arranged and constructed by hand. There will never be another one exactly like it.

Our most plus-size-friendly abaya, the Power Silhouette comfortably fits up to a 4X while draping beautifully on a size 4–6, thanks to its generous cut and carefully chosen fabrics. We design for women through different seasons of life, with room for our bodies to change—because a few pounds or a shift in size shouldn’t mean having to replace an abaya you love.

Care

Gentle cold wash recommended. Hang dry. Avoid high heat.

Sustainability Note

This abaya was created using existing textiles rather than newly produced fabric. Every contrast and print combination is unique to this single garment.
