The term modest fashion is often considered as boring, ill fitting, and unattractive outfits which do nothing in flattering the personality of whoever wears it. For most people what comes to mind when they hear of modest fashion is the Arabian “Hijab”, which we believe is a total misconception of what modest fashion represents. Hijab is an Arabic word which means “to cover” so in a more literal term, an outfit that covers a woman’s chastity is referred to as an Hijab. Modest fashion basically appeals to female fashion lovers, not only Muslims, but women who are interested in looking, and yet remain stylish and decently covered.

Creative director of Jemmila, Faduma Allen is one of the designers that design modest wears for not only women in Islam, but also women with different religious and spiritual beliefs, who can identify with modesty, which is a positive turnout because, modest fashion is finally receiving the long and overdue recognition in the fashion industry.

Top sportswear designer brand, Nike made an astonishing release of promo pictures of their pro-hijab sportswear for Muslim women early this year, which is set to hit the market next spring. This move has made Nike the first large sportswear brand to manufacture a performance hijab for female Muslim athletes.

According to the Nike website, “the pro hijab has been a year in the making, but its impetus can be traced much further back to Nikes founding mission, to serve athlete, with the signature addendum; “if you have a body, you are an athlete”.

Another top designer brand in the circular fashion industry to embrace modest fashion in their recent collection is none other than Italian high earned fashion brand Dolce and Gabbana. The label launched its first collection of modest outfits for Muslim women in their A/W 2016  ready- to- wear collection.  D&G is notable for its signature colourful prints and statement pieces, and this collection as no different.

The dis-repution of modest fashion was changed with the help of famous fashion influencers like, Basma K, Dino Tokio, Haute Hijab, the Istanbul fashion week, London modest fashion week, and Singapore Modest fashion week, to name a few.

The rate of acceptance of the modest fashion movement, signifies that the movement is more than just a trend, instead it is a long overdue acknowledgement of the fashion choices of women in the world’s most populous religion, which is finally receiving appropriate recognition in the fashion industry.
