She is also one of the few women of South Asian heritage to be a &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/whats-new/beauty-news/152513-152513.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;L&#039;oreal ambassador&#60;/a&#62;, following in the footsteps of Aishwarya Rai and Frieda Pinto. Unlike previous commercially successful Indian models like Lakshmi Menon, who did not necessarily look like the classic &#039;Indian girl&#039; in her words, Neelam is every bit identifiably South Asian - something Christopher Bailey, chief creative at Burberry specifically wanted for his campaign.&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;p&#62;As such, in celebration of beauty in its &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/whats-new/beauty-news/fenty-beauty-preview-272123.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62;various shades&#60;/a&#62;, sizes, faiths and more, it couldn&#8217;t be more timely to shine a light on South Asian models making their marks in the fashion world.&#160;Browse the &#60;strong&#62;8 South Asian models we&#8217;re absolutely girl crushin&#8217; on in the gallery above&#60;/strong&#62;!&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Sarah Khan &#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Read More:&#60;/strong&#62; &#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/latest-news/fashion-events/chinese-models-2017-victorias-secret-fashion-show-285047.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=2&#34;&#62;Meet the 7 Chinese models confirmed for the 2017 Victoria&#8217;s Secret Fashion Show&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/whats-new/beauty-news/152513-152513.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Chinese model Xiao Wen is the newest member of the L&#8217;Or&#233;al Paris family&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/my/fashion-my/asia-style-my/south-asian-models-to-watch-287388.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/my/fashion-my/asia-style-my/south-asian-models-to-watch-287388.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>

		'Modest style' is one of fashion's fastest growing sectors, especially in Asia. <media:description><![CDATA[]]></media:description>												
								<content:encoded><![CDATA[&#60;img loading=&#34;lazy&#34; itemprop=&#34;thumbnailUrl&#34; width=&#34;750&#34; height=&#34;410&#34; decoding=&#34;async&#34; src=&#34;/rw-placeholder/750/410/image.svg&#34; data-src=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2017/11/modestfashion-750x410.jpg&#34; class=&#34;lazy-load attachment-rw_large size-rw_large zoom-it wp-post-image&#34; alt=&#34;&#34; /&#62;&#60;noscript&#62;&#60;img loading=&#34;lazy&#34; decoding=&#34;async&#34; width=&#34;750&#34; height=&#34;410&#34; src=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2017/11/modestfashion-750x410.jpg&#34; class=&#34;attachment-rw_large size-rw_large zoom-it wp-post-image&#34; alt=&#34;&#34; /&#62;&#60;/noscript&#62;   &#60;p&#62;As it turns out, Muslim fashion is one of fashion&#039;s fastest growing sectors, estimated to be worth a whooping $200billion by 2020. This is monumental considering that, at one point, the idea of &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/latest-news/fashion-news/hijarbie-this-barbie-instagram-account-is-making-waves-online-151327.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;&#8216;modest Muslim fashion&#8217;&#60;/a&#62; was almost unfathomable - calling to mind images of black burqas and nothing else. However, things appear to be changing - fast.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;This past spring, Vanessa Friedman, The New York Times chief fashion critic, declared &#8216;modest fashion&#8217; (or &#8216;modest-wear&#8217;) a defining trend of 2010s. Asia, in particular, is witness to the surge in modest fashion.&#160;In the recent &#60;strong&#62;2017 edition of &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/fashion-week/singapore/sgfw-partners-boutique-fair-215970.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62;Singapore Fashion Week (SGFW)&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/strong&#62;, modest fashion took centrestage at the &#60;strong&#62;Modestyle.asia&#60;/strong&#62; showcase, an online portal of modest womenswear labels, featuring an array of womenswear fashion labels from across Asia (like Bangladesh&#8217;s La Reve, Indonesia&#8217;s Dian Pelangi, China&#8217;s Tasmiah) and the Middle East. Even the biggest names in Asia&#039;s e-commerce scene like&#160;&#60;strong&#62;Zalora&#60;/strong&#62;&#160;has its own in-house modest label called Zalia; &#60;strong&#62;Fashion Valet,&#60;/strong&#62; run by hijab-clad business mogul Vivy Yusoff has also attracted a cult fashion following among Malaysia&#039;s fashion savvy Muslims.&#160;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Globally,&#160;&#60;strong&#62;Dolce &#38;amp; Gabbana&#60;/strong&#62;&#160;released their highly talked about &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/latest-news/new-collections/dolce-gabbana-launches-exclusive-line-of-hijabs-and-abayas-146043.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;&#60;em&#62;abaya &#60;/em&#62;&#60;/a&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/latest-news/new-collections/dolce-gabbana-launches-exclusive-line-of-hijabs-and-abayas-146043.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;collection&#60;/a&#62; (i.e. the loose, full-length robes often sported by Muslim women) in 2016, closely followed by&#160;&#60;strong&#62;Uniqlo&#039;s&#160;&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/latest-news/new-collections/hari-raya-aidilfitri-special-hana-tajima-uniqlo-110996.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62;own line of hijabs designed by Hana Tajima&#60;/a&#62;. London also hosted its own Modest Fashion Week earlier this year, in partnership with &#60;strong&#62;Modanisa&#60;/strong&#62;, Istanbul-based modest fashion online destination that carries both luxury and non-luxury labels.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;No doubt, the driving force behind the unprecedented rise of modest wear in mainstream fashion has largely to do with the purchasing power and increased visibility of Muslim women across the world. However, with celebrities like Nigella Lawson spotted wearing a &#039;burkini&#039;, and fashion&#039;s return to embracing higher necklines and longer hemlines (case in point: Erdem x H&#38;amp;M), it suggests that perhaps modest fashion is not just for Muslims or women of faith and has in fact a far more broader appeal. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;In our gallery above, we&#8217;ve curated our favourite modest fashion labels and brands to keep on your radar, and where you can get your modest style clothing items from in the region.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Sarah Khan&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;Read More:&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/latest-news/new-campaigns/close-loop-hms-diverse-cast-latest-ad-campaign-includes-hijab-wearer-128260.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Close the Loop: H&#38;amp;M&#8217;s diverse cast in latest ad campaign includes a hijab-wearer&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/halal-breakfast-brunch-cafes-singapore-283270.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62;7 Utterly Instagram-worthy Halal breakfast and brunch cafes in Singapore&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-buys/halal-makeup-260578.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Beauty Junkie: 7 Halal makeup brands you should definitely check out&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/my/fashion-my/asia-style-my/asian-designers-my/modest-fashion-asia-284914.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/my/fashion-my/asia-style-my/asian-designers-my/modest-fashion-asia-284914.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>

Even their local designers are fully embracing their ethnic Mongol roots, artfully adopting generations-old techniques, fabrics and designs into their contemporary fashion creations.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;No doubt, Mongolia is definitely the new Asian fashion destination to keep on your radar.

People who follow the usual fashion trends are likely to fall under this category.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Although we follow international fashion styles as well, we think that true beauty lies in independent clothing labels that not everybody is familiar with.

It is definitely a&#160;place not short of fashion designers, and is slowly but surely making its mark in the &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/fashion-week/paris/paris-fashion-week-spring-2016-highlights-131909.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&#62;international fashion world&#60;/a&#62;. What&#039;s interesting is that each has their own take on fashion, with various multiethnic and multicultural influences shaping their clothing designs as well. We don&#039;t know if you&#039;ve noticed, but Lady Gaga is one of the biggest supporters of a Malaysian fashion brand herself.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;You might be familiar with names like &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/latest-news/fashion-news/wang-10-alexander-wang-re-releases-10-best-selling-designs-120975.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&#62;Alexander Wang&#60;/a&#62; and Vivienne Westwood, but we think it&#039;s time you got to know some local ones too. The best part is that they all have stores at home, so you won&#039;t have to worry about online shipping and all that trouble. Head up to the gallery to learn more about the local fashion scene, one designer at a time.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Dione Chen&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/my/fashion-my/asia-style-my/asian-designers-my/malaysian-fashion-designers-191402.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/my/fashion-my/asia-style-my/asian-designers-my/malaysian-fashion-designers-191402.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[&#60;img loading=&#34;lazy&#34; itemprop=&#34;thumbnailUrl&#34; width=&#34;750&#34; height=&#34;410&#34; decoding=&#34;async&#34; src=&#34;/rw-placeholder/750/410/image.svg&#34; data-src=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2013/11/Assez_approx450USD-625x410.jpg&#34; class=&#34;lazy-load attachment-rw_large size-rw_large zoom-it wp-post-image&#34; alt=&#34;&#34; /&#62;&#60;noscript&#62;&#60;img loading=&#34;lazy&#34; decoding=&#34;async&#34; width=&#34;750&#34; height=&#34;410&#34; src=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2013/11/Assez_approx450USD-625x410.jpg&#34; class=&#34;attachment-rw_large size-rw_large zoom-it wp-post-image&#34; alt=&#34;&#34; /&#62;&#60;/noscript&#62;  &#60;p&#62;Shoes are a pivotal aspect of any outfit. When someone gives you the one up stare, it starts from the shoes up and if the shoes fail, there is no one up. Malaysia understands that and could very well be regarded as the shoe capital of Asia. They have a knack for the craft coupled with a keen eye for design, the most famous being &#60;strong&#62;Jimmy Choo&#60;/strong&#62;.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Now if you&#8217;re looking for the next label to roll off your lips then think: &#60;a href=&#34;http://xalfdesign.com/?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Xalf Design&#60;/a&#62;. The designer duo, Xavier Mah and Alfred Hor are determined to be the answers to bespoke luxury foot wear to an exclusive clientale, worldwide.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;A personalized connection forms the DNA of their business whereby customers are given the option to select the type of material or colour. The process is so intimate that the shoes even get stamped with the exact date they were made on.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://xalfdesign.com/?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Xalf&#60;/a&#62; has journeyed down a rather unorthodox lane in terms of marketing and that was done through collaborations with car companies such as &#60;strong&#62;Bentley&#60;/strong&#62; and &#60;strong&#62;Lotus&#60;/strong&#62;. In this manner, they were hoping to place themselves on a luxury level in the quickest possible way, without any competitive interest at stake. Boy, were they smart!&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Their latest collection, a wedding collection, titled &#60;a href=&#34;http://xalfdesign.com/brand.php?c=7&#38;#038;utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Bonjour&#60;/a&#62; is a range of classic and exquisite designs inspired by the love capital, Paris. A wedding is for a lifetime but the planning leading up to the big day can be overwhelming. Usually, the one thing that is often difficult to source is a pair of wedding shoes to match your ethereal gown. Hence, &#60;a href=&#34;http://xalfdesign.com/?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Xalf&#60;/a&#62; has meticulously crafted wedding shoe options from which a bride could customize.&#160; While most of them are in a neutral nude tone, one pair in a bright cobalt blue (&#60;a href=&#34;http://xalfdesign.com/item.php?p=51&#38;#038;utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Suave&#60;/a&#62;) is a pure star in the collection. Laden with feather details and gold piping, this pair is an absolute charmer, kitschy enough for the quirky bride.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;While &#60;a href=&#34;http://xalfdesign.com/?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Xalf&#60;/a&#62; continues to strive to reach an international ground with their vision of luxury and bespoke footwear, there is no stopping you to reach out to them and order your very own pair through the &#60;a href=&#34;http://xalfdesign.com/?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;site&#60;/a&#62;!&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Tarandip Kaur&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/my/fashion-my/asia-style-my/asian-designers-my/xalf-design-luxury-shoes-from-malaysia-173710.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/my/fashion-my/asia-style-my/asian-designers-my/xalf-design-luxury-shoes-from-malaysia-173710.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>
