Modesty Fashion in the 21st-century is the fastest growing market in the fashion industry. The mainstream Western market is finally catching on and cashing in. Modest fashion inspiration has surged on TikTok as well as Instagram with influencers expanding the narrative around what it means to dress modestly. The hashtag #ModestFashion currently has over 1.300,000,000 views on TikTok.

The Modesty Market is not just a Muslim market although it is the largest. It also includes women of different religions and cultures, including women from Mormon, Amish, and other Christian faiths, as well as followers of Orthodox Judaism.

Modesty Fashion is also an alternative for women who are not religiously motivated that are looking for style options away from fashion as a sexual accessory. Self-expression through fashion is an emerging power in a world of Burkas and bikinis. This program will explore the middle ground for those who seek it.

Patricia Sehar Peerzada creates clothing influenced by traditional sources in Africa, Asia, Native America, and Europe. She often uses natural fibers which she hand prints using the ancient art of block printing which she learned studying traditional arts in Pakistan. Controlling the placement, intensity, and content of the prints in her limited edition separates and ensembles, makes each piece a wearable art treasure. Concentrating on the drape and fall of the fabric, Sehar flatters the figure of all types of women with her simple, unique shapes.
