4.What is it about?
Founder and coordinator Abashiya Achilles who is also the designer and owner of the "Fabulous in Hijab" modest wear brand, maintains that the Hijab fashion week is not a new concept.
London had already seen many years of the ever successful London modest fashion week #LMFW.
Having been in contact with the organizers, Abashiya then embarked on introducing a Hijab fashion week in Cape Town, South Africa, her home town.
I cannot wait to meet her! She has been an absolute pleasure to liaise with, and is truly a remarkable person.

After 5 successful years of the HFWSA, in Cape Town, with exceptional growth each year. It will now be launched in Johannesburg on the 13 and 14th May 2017, at the image Lifestyle center in Fordsburg, in conjunction with Crescent Lifestyle.
While it may not be a new concept, it is an entirely new platform for emerging local modest wear designers and an opportunity to cater to the large and wide demands of Hijab or modest wearing Muslims.
The HFWSA is set to gather some of the best local design talent in the modest industry as well as the who's who in the blogosphere of modest bloggers.. all in one event over 2 days.
Taking place just days before the Islamic month of Ramadan, it will be the Eid shoppers delight to get their hands on these unique designs for Eid, prior to Ramadan, so focus can be maintained on the more important aspects such as ibaadah (prayer), fasting and charity.
Designers contact details will also be made available to those in attendance requiring custom garments or wishing to purchase the runway designs.

It will take you to their Instagram page...no worries if you'd like to get back to reading the rest of this post.. Simply close the Instagram window. Designers are creating new items just for the HFWSA! So below is just a teaser of what designers have offered or are currently offering.

My Online Souk
By: sisters Sabeena and Jehan
Is your online store for one stop shopping for those gorgeous outfits from a number of local designers. They bridge the gap between fashionable Muslimahs who love to shop designer pieces and the designers themselves. Having spoken to one of the sisters, I can say without a doubt...you will love shopping with them.
