Creepy poster from a hijab manufacturer

[elfs]

Khazan Studio is a boutique fashion designer that sells hijabs for Muslim women. What creeps me out is the poster they use as their advertising.

My reaction in the first seconds was to be impressed with the quality of the eyes as they're drawn, but as I looked I realized that, for women who are being encouraged to "express themselves," the artist has deprived his models of voices.

Thanks for the clarification!

In my defense... ...I was told about the prohibition on all images in Islam by a docent (guide? tour leader?) at the Dome of the Rock mosque in Al Quds (the one right next to Al Aqsa), back in 1982 or so, by way of explanation for the breathtaking feats of calligraphy, that were-but-weren't-quite images.
