Estimated to be worth over US$230 billion worldwide, the modest fashion industry grew out of Islamic traditional wear, and has since been reimagined by designers and influencers from Muslim as well as non-Muslim cultures across the globe.
“Modest fashion is easily the fastest-growing trend in the global fashion industry, and in recent years, world-renowned fashion labels such as D&G, DKNY, H&M, Zara and many more have awoken to the opportunities that exist in this space. This has been further bolstered by the rise of social media and the emergence of several global fashion influencers from traditional Islamic markets such as the GCC. Today, we are seeing a confluence of these – labels are looking to work with Middle Eastern and Islamic fashion influencers, and more and more customers are looking to Influencers and brands to fulfil their need for fashion trends and designer labels, but within the Islamic context,” said Ritu Upadhyay, Middle East Correspondent of Women’s Wear Daily, who moderated a panel on the topic at Global Islamic Economy Summit 2016.
Panelist Soha Taha, a modest fashion influencer from Egypt and the UAE with over 187,000 followers on Instagram, recently started her own fashion label and online store to fulfil customer demands globally. She says that this was a natural move considering the unique requirements of the modest fashion consumer.
“The need for modest fashion among Muslim women gave rise to an all-new industry, and social media became the platform through which I could share my take on the latest trends and instantly communicate with those who valued my opinion. Followers became buyers, and today I receive orders from and deliver to more than 75 countries around the world,” said Soha.
Turkey-based global modest fashion e-commerce store Modanisa.com gets more than 9 million visitors a month, and carries more than 45 designers and 300 brands. Kerim Ture, Founder of Modanisa.com said: “This sector has been seeing a strong upward trend since we began in 2011, and we have even created the Istanbul Modest Fashion Week as a response to this trend. Even with the groundswell, we believe that this is a largely untapped sector, and we are currently serving only 4% of the addressable market. Whether it is fashion in daily wear or for special occasions, the modest fashion consumer looks to us and to influencers to bring them options, and we also play a key role in creating awareness around specific culturally unique trends that may not be seen elsewhere.”
Social mMedia platforms have emerged as the communications media of choice, as influencers and brands are able to engage with the consumer in real-time. This has also created a community of like-minded individuals. During instances such as the recent ‘burkini ban’ debate in France, this community saw strong support from Muslims and non-Muslims around the world, and both Soha and Ture reported increased sales in response to this sociopolitical issue.
Instagram and Snapchat were touted as the best platforms to engage with the modest fashion enthusiast community, and video content sees the most engagement when it comes to proactive content sharing from brands and sellers. This content includes designers and influencers sharing thoughts on designs, fabric, and patterns, as well as ‘how to’ videos to demonstrate the correct wearing of scarves and gowns to young girls or non-Muslim consumers.
“An influencer in this niche area needs to find their authentic voice and style, and not be afraid to change or experiment. Modest fashion need not come from only modest designers, but can actually be created by understanding the core concepts and mixing-and-matching from anywhere,” said Soha.
Modanisa.com is looking to brick-and-mortar as the next stage of their evolution. “We have built our community of more than 2 million followers on Facebook and 25 million views on YouTube, and are now looking at reaching our customers through a chain of retail stores. We have begun in Turkey, and will be bringing these stores across the region in the near-term,” said Karim.

View the Raya 2015 collection from traditional ready-to-wear label OOH! online, catering to the contemporary local woman who is modern and worldly, yet possesses a touch of tradition and practical sensibility.
Crisp and sharp colours, graphic prints, and playful sophistication are the hallmarks of this three-year-old brand. The line features a mix of contemporary designs using fun pastel hues with traditional cuts and their signature intricate beading. All are original designs by the co-founders, Dr Wan Puspa Melati, Dawn Jeremiah and Joanne Ho-Lee, who believe that traditional ethnic wear has always been part of the Malaysian culture – worn not just by Malay women, but also among the Chinese, Indians, Punjabis and Eurasians as well, during special occasions, at work and at play.
The fabrics, materials and embellishments used are sourced locally and all over the region. The pieces are then designed in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore and handcrafted both locally and around Southeast Asia. Each piece by the brand is sewn and beaded by traditional home tailors who are exceptional at their craft. OOH! is happy to play its part in providing part-time employment to these talented individuals, most of whom are single mothers or persons from economically-disadvantaged backgrounds.
There are seven designs in this year's Ramadan collection: three mother-daughter
baju kurungs, two mother-daughter kebayas, and two adult baju kurungs:
