Lymus began designing jewelry when she was 7, and now has a line of clothing called Amirah Creations. She is a devout Muslim, but her dresses will surprise you.
They are full of color: blues, purples, prints and tapestry woven pieces. Lymus is determined to break down many of the stereotypes about Muslim women — like the assumption that all Muslim women are docile and wear black.
"I like colors and I like flowers, and I like head pieces with feathers coming off of them, and all I do is just put it on top of my hijab instead of putting it on my hair," Lymus says. "I am a woman — I am attracted to those things, so I really want to break down that stereotype."
LYMUS: YOU CAN GET A DRESS IN ANY PATTERN YOU WANT - AS LONG AS YOU WEAR YOUR HIJAB, OR BURQA.
SERIOUSLY, INSTEAD OF BREAKING DOWN THE STEREOTYPE, WHY NOT BREAK DOWN THE MISOGYNIST BARRIERS?
