A quick gander at your Instagram news feed will produce a ten fold of women who would rather show their skin than outfits that actually involve clothing.

Sex sells for the head honchos of retail giants, but Muslim fashion bloggers are growing in numbers and proving just the opposite: that modesty and style can intertwine.

Until those barriers are broken down, this community of fashion bloggers are serving inspo and motivating us all to make sure that the way we dress ultimately mirrors integrity and self respect.
