Istanbul, Turkey — November 26–29, 2025
The Modest Fashion Art & Trade Show returned to Istanbul this November, bringing together designers, brands, and industry professionals from across the globe for four days of creative exchange and commercial dialogue. Held at the IFM Istanbul Expo Center alongside Halal Expo 2025, the event underscored the growing international influence of the modest fashion sector and its expanding role within the global fashion economy.
Participants traveled from more than nine countries, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, the United States, Australia, Indonesia, and the United Kingdom, reflecting the industry’s increasingly international scope. This diverse representation highlighted how modest fashion has moved beyond regional markets to become a globally relevant and commercially viable segment.
Throughout the exhibition, designers presented a wide range of collections that blended cultural values with contemporary design. From refined silhouettes to luxury-focused materials and craftsmanship, the showcased pieces demonstrated how modest fashion continues to evolve, positioning itself alongside established global fashion houses while maintaining its distinct identity.
In addition to brand showcases and design presentations, the event featured a series of professional talks and industry discussions. These sessions addressed pressing topics such as merchandising strategies, brand positioning, scaling production, and navigating international distribution. Speakers also explored how modest fashion can be effectively introduced and marketed as a premium offering on a global stage.
Collaboration and knowledge exchange were central themes of the show, with designers, buyers, and industry stakeholders engaging in cross-border conversations aimed at fostering long-term partnerships. The event served not only as a creative platform but also as a strategic meeting point for those shaping the future of the modest fashion industry.
Among the international attendees was Radwa Galal, a well-known digital influencer with a broad global following. Her presence highlighted the growing role of digital media and public figures in extending the reach of trade events and increasing international visibility for fashion exhibitions.
With its strong international participation, professional programming, and emphasis on both creativity and commerce, the Modest Fashion Art & Trade Show reinforced its position as a key global gathering for the modest fashion and lifestyle industry.
