New Jersey Is Keeping It Modest At Modest Fashion Show

By Jasmine Roziers

The state of New Jersey hosted one of the largest Modest Fashion Shows last year and this year will be no exception. This will be the second time that the New Brunswick Islamic Center or the "NBIC" will host the event. The name of the modest yet chic fashion event is named HijabFest and the modest fashion show will be taking place at the Hyatt Regency in New Brunswick, NJ. The HijabFest consists of seminars, fashion shows, workshops on different aspects of Islamic women's health, fashion and media. According to Central Jersey, "There will also be an opportunity to shop the runway looks and more at the the vendor bazaar featuring more than 30 designers from all over the United States. The Islamic fashion industry is a $96 billion industry, expected to reach $322 billion by the year 2018." The event is meant to spread awareness of modesty fashion and to enlighten those already aware of the Islamic faith. The event was so popular last year that the event will be held at a bigger venue due to the high volume of guests expected this year.
