What does modest fashion mean to you?:

Modest fashion is a way of expressing my style without compromising on my beliefs. It's taking inspiration from all places and adapting it so that I can feel confident, stylish in what I am wearing.

Will you be celebrating Eid? If so tell us a little bit about how you’ll be celebrating.

Yes! I like to celebrate it by decorating my house the night before to wake up to some excitement, head to the morning Eid prayer at my local Amanah mosque, then go to my nans where my family all get together to eat a traditional Yemeni breakfast (Bint al-sahn) and some tea, and then go to my in-laws to visit them too. For the evening we then go back to my house for a party with all my sisters and sister in laws.

What do you love most about INAYAH?:

I love how classy and elegant INAYAH designs are. It fills the gap that was necessary for women that like to dress more modestly without having to sacrifice on the quality of the clothing or the design. I love that INAYAH has become a brand that most of us think of when there's an occasion that needs us to dress up.
