JAKARTA - Syar'i hijab is one of the fashion choices that are increasingly in demand to be worn during Lebaran. In addition to reflecting the values of simplicity and compliance with sharia, this fashion style is now also presented with a touch of a more modern and elegant design, so that it remains relevant to today's fashion trends.
In the last decade, the trend of the syar'i hijab in Indonesia has also grown along with the increasing religious awareness and the growth of the modest fashion industry. This development is not only seen from the side of the style of dressing, but also from the dynamics of the market and innovation in Muslim fashion design.
Hijab syar'i itself is designed to meet the principle of dressing according to Islamic law, namely covering the aurat with materials that are not transparent, have loose cuts, and do not emphasize the shape of the body. In addition, its use also emphasizes simplicity without excessive elements.
As the modest fashion industry grows, the syar'i hijab is now not only seen as a religious symbol, but also as part of a halal lifestyle. Various latest collections come with a more elegant look without leaving its main values.
One example can be seen in the collaboration between designer Leny Rafael and Sunita Asmara through the Syahira line, which was featured in the Ramadan Rhapsody 2026 event.
"This year our collection is the result of the collaboration of two designers with a focus on the hijab syari with a simple but classy design. I personally in this year's collection have learned about the hijab syari from Sunita Asmara because I have been studying the design for a long time," said Leny Rafael.
The collection features eight looks with lightweight and fall sifon material, giving a flowy impression in white, burgundy, and black. Loose pieces and minimalist details on the sleeves give an elegant impression without the need for excessive accessories.
"Actually, in the principle of using hijab syari, there is no need for additional accessories. If there is, at most, only a brooch. That's it, because there is no need to overdo it," said Sunita Asmara.
Apart from this collaboration, a number of other designers such as Indress, Zoya, Candrika, Just Us, and Dana also presented Lebaran fashion collections with their respective characteristics in the same event.
The chairman of Fashion Rhapsody, Ariy Arka, said that each designer presented a different theme according to their respective identities, including a collaboration of a couple's collection that carries an ethnic touch.
"The eight designers released different themes according to their respective characteristics. But, this year's special thing is that Cerita Naara and Abeey collaborated to release the 2026 Raya couples outfit collection. We are still carrying the ethnic theme by adopting the Bali gringsing," said Ariy.
In addition to fashion shows, this event was also enlivened by the appearance of singer Sandhy Sondoro. Ramadan Rhapsody itself is an event held throughout March 2026 with the theme "Sanctuary of Ramadan".
According to Ariy Arka, the theme represents a moment of reflection during Ramadan, where spiritual values, art, and togetherness are intertwined.
"The Sanctuary of Ramadan can also be interpreted as a sacred space with faith, art, and togetherness intertwined in it," he said.
