5 Muslim Women Owned Modest Fashion Labels To Look Out For
In recognition of Muslim Women’s Day celebrations this week.
Muslim Women’s Day (MWD) is celebrated on March 27 every year to shed light on the Muslim women. The global movement highlights the experiences and achievements of Muslim women in different fields from beauty to fashion, art, sports and more. The celebration of MWD allows space for talents to further their visibility, share their vision and views and break stereotypes and perceptions. It also provides a space for Muslim women to express themselves, celebrate their diversity and talents and provide support to one another.
This year, in celebration with MWD, the team has put together a list of modest fashion labels owned by Muslim women. In Islam, modest fashion is key to many Muslim women. Those who choose to dress modestly typically incorporate loose and full coverage clothes that are not revealing yet still express their state of mind and mood. From Finland to Bahrain, below is a list of a few selected labels to keep a look out for.
