About USA Islamic Fashion Week
USA Islamic Fashion Week is an event that will provide a platform to American-based Muslim designers, raising their national and international profile, and catapult them and their industry counterparts into successful fashion entrepreneurship. USA Islamic Fashion Week along with its founding organization, Modesty Defines Islamic Fashion Council of America, LLC, claim Islam as a way of life in the local fashion arena, and bridge the gap between modest and Islamic fashion.
In this, its inaugural year, USA Islamic Fashion Week, DMW will converge in the Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia areas, DMV, for a four day fashion-filled event which will bring together designers from across the nation. They will display their creative works on traditional runway shows and other fashion presentations at multiple locations throughout the DMV. Complimenting the fashion display, we have an amazing line up of industry training and development sessions, light entertainment, and an abundance of networking opportunities.
