Contemporary Islamic dress as well as cultural identity of Islamic women in urban environment are today widely influenced and re-defined by migrations and globalization. Diverse contemporary clothing styles of Muslim women today must be understood in the context of rise of neoliberal economics in Muslim countries and the resurgence of Muslim identities worldwide. The purpose of this article is to present the transnational meaning of the veil (a form of headgear or body covering) and offer an insight into the new Muslim dressing practices which are symbolically as well as materially shaped by both ‘Eastern’ and ‘Western’ cultures. A thorough analysis also shows that in general, for the majority of Muslim women, the wearing of the veil today is perceived as an important expression of belonging and affirmation of the cultural identity. As a multi-layered concept, deeply integrated into political, social, personal and, nevertheless, visual interpretations, this new transnational Muslim fashion is thus opening up new perspectives in the perception of the identity of ‘modern’ Muslim women and thus revealing an important testimony to the cultural significance of migrations.Migracije in globalizacija danes ključno vplivajo na redefiniranje muslimanske obleke v sodobnosti ter oblikovanje kulturne identitete žensk islamske veroizpovedi v urbanem okolju. Raznolike sodobne oblačilne sloge muslimank je danes treba razumeti v kontekstu porasta neoliberalne ekonomije v muslimanskih državah ter ponovnega oživljanja muslimanskih identitet po celem svetu. Namen članka je predstaviti transnacionalni pomen tančice (oblike naglavnega oziroma telesnega pokrivala) ter ponuditi vpogled v nove muslimanske oblačilne prakse, ki se tako simbolno kot materialno napajajo tako v ≫vzhodni≪ kot ≫zahodni≪ kulturi. Temeljita analiza tudi pokaže, da večina muslimanskih žensk nošenje tančice danes dojema kot pomemben odraz pripadnosti ter potrditev kulturne identitete. Nova transnacionalna muslimanska moda je postala večplasten koncept, ki, globoko integriran v politične, družbene, osebne in navsezadnje vizualne interpretacije, odpira nove perspektive v percepciji identitete ≫modernih≪ muslimank ter tako pomembno priča o kulturnem pomenu migracij
