Jamal: We went to Philadelphia for a seminar, and we came across a store. We saw it [our outfit], we liked it, so we bought it.
Christina: Everyone chooses how they want to dress for Eid, so there are no trends—it’s up to the individuals.

I’m wearing a bazin from Mali, but I bought it here. I got it from a lady named Fatou in New Jersey. This [jewelry] is all Swarovski, and I didn’t plan to wear it, but when I saw the dress, I thought it looked nice. But I planned to wear a different color hair tie [hijab].

Alassan: The outfits that we’re wearing are from Ivory Coast and Mali, the best places in the whole world. The reason we’re wearing pastels is because of my beautiful wife. We have to dress as beautifully as possible.
Manfidoukoure: I picked this piece because I liked the baby blue, but my significant other liked the pink, so we put them together. We’re celebrating Eid, so it’s beautiful.
Kema: We’ve picked out our clothes for a while. You pick out your clothes before you start fasting because you anticipate that you will finish the 30 days.
