Author Biography
Romana B. Mirza
TORONTO METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY
Romana B. Mirza is a brand strategist, researcher, and scholar.
She brings 25+ years’ experience in marketing product design and design disciplines to the fashion industry. Romana decided to pursue modest fashion through scholarship and research, with the goal of breaking down growing resentment toward Muslims and the resurgence of society’s need to legislate women’s bodies. To that end, Romana is completing her Master of Arts in Fashion Studies at Toronto Metropolitan University in Toronto this spring. Her Master’s research project titled “Women Undercover: Exploring the Intersectional Identities of Muslim Women through Modest Fashion” studies the sartorial practices of sixteen Muslim women. This research introduces digital storytelling, an arts-based research method to fashion studies. Her research and digital stories created by participants in January 2019 can be viewed at the Centre for Fashion Diversity and Social Change website. This fall she will be continuing her research as a PhD student in the Communication and Culture program offered jointly by Toronto Metropolitan and York Universities, where she plans to continue her focus on modest fashion exploring beyond the Muslim experience.
