The 11th global edition of Modest Fashion Week by Think Fashion will take place in Paris from April 16 to 18, marking the platform’s debut in one of the world’s most storied fashion capitals. It is a milestone that felt inevitable, and yet still lands with real weight. After a decade of building credibility and community across some of the world’s most culturally significant cities, modest fashion is arriving on the one stage that has always been considered the ultimate measure of relevance.
The event will be held at Hotel Le Marois, following previous editions in Istanbul, London, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Riyadh. Each of those cities added something to the platform’s identity. Paris, with its unmatched authority in fashion, adds something different: legitimacy in the eyes of an industry that has been slow, at times, to take modest fashion seriously as a global creative force.

The lineup reflects both the platform’s regional roots and its genuinely global ambition. Arab talent will be front and centre, with Fashion by Shehna from the UAE, Hindami from Qatar, and Roqaia Fashion House from Kuwait showing collections rooted in regional heritage and craftsmanship.
Beyond the Gulf, the international roster includes La Modesa from the United States, Miha from Turkey, Arzumerzaeva from Russia, Nada Puspita from Indonesia, Afrik Abaya from Nigeria, and Soutoura from France, a lineup that spans continents and makes the point more eloquently than any press release could: modest fashion belongs to everyone.

Across three days, the event will feature 30 runway shows and eight panel discussions exploring the future of modest fashion, alongside a dedicated B2B showroom designed to connect designers, buyers, and industry professionals. That last element matters. This is not a showcase that exists only for the cameras. It is a commercial platform built to create real, lasting business relationships.
Ozlem Sahin, CEO of Modest Fashion Weeks by Think Fashion, put it plainly: Paris represents elegance, innovation, and influence in the fashion world, and hosting the 11th edition there reinforces the mission to create an inclusive and commercially powerful ecosystem for designers from the GCC region and around the world.
After ten editions spent proving the concept, Paris is where modest fashion plants its biggest flag yet. April 16 cannot come soon enough.
