It was
started since 2 months ago ( July 2012 ).
It was not my intention to make a
clothing line under the brand named RESTY.
I started to produced inner scarves
at the first production, because a lot of people keep on asking me about the
inner scarves that I wore on my youtube hijab tutorial videos.
And then they
also asked me to buy all the things that I wore on my videos: scarves, inner
scarves, jackets, dresses, accesories, brooches, head bands, etc.
Alhamdulillah, the demand was not only came from Indonesia, but also from other
countries from around the world such as US, Canada, Germany, Morocco,
Singapore, Malaysia, Mexico, England, and many more.
When did you start to wear hijab? Why?
First
year when I was in junior high school.
I've won a band competition as a singer
in school, after that I pray shalat maghrib.
When I pray, there's somekind of
voices that keep telling me to wear hijab,
and I can see a picture of my self
wearing hijab at that time.
Then I suddenly cried so deeply... It's the kind of
feeling that I've never felt before.
Who inspires you in wear hijab? Why?
My Mom..
because she is my inspiration and I think she's the most beautiful woman in the
world, inside & out
What are your joys and sorrows during wear hijab?
I enjoy
every minute in my life when I wear hijab, no regret about it.
Even I'm facing

Pretty
creative and a lot of different kind of style & design.
