Modest Fashion at a Crossroads | BoF CROSSROADS 2025

Modest fashion is big business. Spending by Muslim consumers on fashion is projected to hit $428 billion by 2027, marking a compound annual growth rate of more than 6 percent, according to DinarStandard’s annual State of the Global Islamic Economy report. It’s also a fast-changing business. The sector — which encompasses hugely diverse countries and communities with different trend sources and traditions — is undergoing an unprecedented period of formalisation, industrialisation, and globalisation. In a conversation with Forbes Middle East presenter Sally Mousa, Kerim Ture, the founder of Istanbul-based modest fashion e-tailer Modanisa, Linda Anggrea, the founder of Indonesian modest fashion label Buttonscarves and CEO of parent company Modinity Group and Rabia Zargarpur, the Emirati designer behind her namesake brand Rabia Z, explored the future of the booming modest fashion market.
