Abstract

This study aims to explore the impact of Merdeka.com on Muslim society's perceptions of fashion, using a qualitative research approach with a survey method. Mass media like Merdeka.com plays a significant role in disseminating fashion information as part of global popular culture. In Muslim communities, fashion is often influenced by religious norms; however, trends presented by the media can shape their perceptions and attitudes. This research was conducted by surveying active readers of Merdeka.com and analyzing published fashion content. The findings indicate that Merdeka.com influences the openness of Muslim society toward fashion trends, although there are efforts to align these trends with Islamic values. This study reveals the interaction between fashion and religious values in Muslim society, which continues to evolve with media exposure.
