Ghizlan Guenez, CEO and Founder of brand new modest fashion e-commerce site The Modist, tells Salaam Gateway in an exclusive interview that the luxury modest fashion start-up has got its timing and market right.
The launch of a global online destination for luxury modest fashion, The Modist, on International Women’s Day on March 8 was perfectly timed.
Modest fashion is currently witnessing a surge of interest from the global fashion world on the back of the UK holding its first Modest Fashion Week in February as part of London Fashion Week and a week later, Milan Fashion Week witnessed a hijab-clad model on the catwalk. The second London Modest Fashion Week, being organised as part of London Muslim Lifestyle Show 2017, is already around the corner in April, adding to similar events being organised in Turkey, Malaysia and Indonesia.
