Modest Fashion Week is a premier global event series spotlighting modest fashion in a new city each year. After captivating editions in Istanbul, Jakarta, London, and Dubai, Amsterdam takes center stage from December 14 to 16, 2019. Dive into runway shows, expert talk shows, hands-on workshops, and booths showcasing designs from brands and designers across 20 countries.
The Modest Fashion Movement
Modest fashion emphasizes coverage with longer hems and loose, flowing silhouettes—a stylish choice for women who believe true beauty doesn't require revealing the body. Figures like the Olsen twins from Full House propelled its popularity in the West, but this trend traces back centuries across diverse cultures worldwide.
Why Amsterdam?
This international initiative selects host cities that reflect diversity and openness. Amsterdam's multicultural fabric, renowned tolerance, and sustainable ethos perfectly align with this edition's themes: sustainability, tolerance, and self-discovery.
