12 Muslim Fashion Influencers You Should Follow On Instagram

In recent years, modest fashion has slowly crept into luxury and fast fashion. Fashion brands worldwide have incorporated modest looks that have strutted down the runways of Dubai, London and even New York. Modest fashion styling seems synonymous to lots and lots of layering and incorporating trendy pieces (read: off-the-shoulder tops) in a more covered way.

Muslim women are increasingly using fashion not only to express themselves but also break stereotypes that Muslim women who dress modestly can’t be stylish. These Muslim fashionistas prove that you don’t have to compromise your faith for fashion.

We’ve selected 12 Muslim fashionistas from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei for your next outfit inspiration! Who knows, you might learn how to #OOTD just like them!
