Modest fashion in luxury brands and fashion capitals
Modesty has been a subject of spirited controversy through the ages. The reasons may be due to the constantly changing modesty attitudes which may vary from place to place, from age to age, from one section of society to another, and even from one time of day to another. Changing fashions add further interest and controversy to modesty. With each change in fashion, interest and attention are directed to different parts of the body, thus creating changes in modesty attitudes. Modesty can be manifested through clothing. Modesty assumes different forms in different countries, it varies from places, age and even in the time of the day and role the person is assuming.  Asiya Rafiq, hailing from Kashmir (India) with an Educational Background in Psychology, Certified in ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) from Dubai is the First Indian Modest Fashion Designer (Specialized in Adaptive Wear) now staying in UAE.

Up Cycling, How to Embark on a Journey to Slow Fashion.
The fashion industry has been struggling to move towards a more sustainable place throughout the years. Some countries have struggled to find the correct resources when it comes to the production of sustainable products and its expensive costs. Not only for the suppliers but for the consumers. The rise of the second hand or ‘thrifted’ trend has made us question how we consume fashion. What is the best way to become sustainable with a lack of resources? And Where do we start? Join us in this discussion along side our guests Andrea Torres, who started her sustainable journey more than a year ago and Laura Romero who just started her sustainable fashion brand Waylla..
