Dynamic Islamic Fashion and Design Council’s Designers Rock Jakarta Fashion Week
The electrifying and dynamic set of designers, selected to strut the catwalk under the banner of the Islamic Fashion and Design Council (IFDC) rocked Jakarta Fashion Week with modest fashion style like you’ve never seen before!
Tahir 3“The selection of Tahir Sultan and Amber Feroz as IFDC’s headline designers for Jakarta Fashion Week turned heads for not only the fashion world at large, but especially for those closely following the stellar surge in the success of Islamic and modest fashion. We felt that both of these designers, although each presenting their own individual styles and creativities, really capture the essence of what it means to be both modest and stylish,” said Islamic Fashion and Design Council (IFDC) Founder and Chairwoman, Alia Khan “Both Tahir and Amber epitomise not only style and class but also the grace of modest fashion, and each designer is tremendously creative.”
The multi-national store chain retailer, Yellow by Beximco, who recently announced they will be launching the first Pret-A-Cover™ departments also added, at IFDC’s press conference at Jakarta Fashion Week on 27 October, that in addition to the initial 16 departments that will be launched, a further 500 are planned for launch in the upcoming months.
The PAC™ departments are a new retail department for stores of all sizes worldwide, created by IFDC especially for the modest wear consumer, and also announced that they will buy the full modest wear collections from Tahir Sultan and Amber Feroz following their runway shows at Jakarta Fashion Week. This announcement came after they had a taste of what to expect from these talented designers who “hit a home run” with their upcoming modest fashion collection – making Yellow Stores’ decision an easy one to make
The Pret-A-Cover™ inititive is one of many revolutionary moves made by IFDC. This and its historical collaborations with several global fashion weeks like Jakarta Fashion Week will prove to change the way we look at Islamic/modest fashion forever; it also testifies to the massive and global growth that this global fashion sector is currently experiencing.
“Of course, the sponsorship that Yellow by Beximco entrusted IFDC with to make the Jakarta Fashion Week collaboration happen speaks to their innovative and visionary approach to business. There’s no doubt that businesses worldwide are coming to understand the growth and immense potential of this sector, and we thank and commend the team from Yellow by Beximco for their support and confidence in the iFash™ sector!” said Khan.
