BELLA HADID at the opening of the “Baghdad: Eye’s Delight” Exhibit at The Museum of Islamic Art on October 25th 2022 wearing SCHIAPARELLI COUTURE

Bella again just manages to look amazing. This Schiaparelli look was just amazing, the black with gold embellishments just look amazing. I love the buttons and the eyes on the shoes. It's such a beautiful look, and Bella just wears it so well. Her eyes feel like they're reaching into my soul, and I'm just so obsessed with this look.

Happy Islamic New Year! Also known as the Hijri New Year, it is the first day of Muharram, which is the first month in the Islamic calendar. The starting point of Islamic calendar is migration of the Muslim Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Medina in 622 CE. This day, observed at sunset of July 6th this year, signifies a time of renewal and spiritual contemplation.

Did you know Sacramento is home to the second oldest Muslim Mosque in the United States west of the Mississippi River? The Muslim community has grown in the Sacramento area ever since the early 1900s. A large majority of those who came to California in the early 1900s were South Asian immigrants seeking education in the United States or were refugees fleeing colonial oppression.

Construction of the Mosque began in 1941 at 411 V Street and was finished in 1947. This Mosque continues to serve the Islamic community today as part of the Muslim Mosque Association.

For today, Jared letterpress printed a Hijri New Year greeting with black rubber base ink using a 4x6 Golding Official #2 tabletop printing press. The text reads, “Hijri New Year 1st day of Muharram,” and was typeset with 30 point Caslon type font.
